Mom gives birth to opposite black and white twin boys but neither parent is white
When Stacy and Babajide welcomed their first-born daughter, Demilde, their family was filled with joy.
Soon, the couple from Lagos decided to expand their family.
So imagine the excitement and joy that they felt when they found out that they were expecting again.
After a few months, they had another visit to their doctor, and they were told that they were expecting twin boys.
Oh! How happy they were!
Having twins is not easy, but itâs twice the happiness, twice the fun, and twice the love.
Soon, Stacy gave birth via caesarian section.
Even though the pain of giving birth was there, she didnât mind. Stacy wanted to hug her babies. She and her husband named their twins Daniel and David Omirin.
When Stacy and Babajide saw the boys, they were surprised.

Daniel had black curly hair and dark skin just like her big sister. However, David was born with golden curls and white skin.
Stacy explained they were not aware of the twinâs differences because it didnât show in their scan.
Even the doctors were stunned.

The twins look alike but their colors were the total opposite, but that didnât matter to Stacy.
She fell in love with her boys but was unsure of how her husband would react.
Babajide saw his twins and smiled. He thought of a sweet nickname for David.

He started calling him âGolden,â because of his golden curls. Babajide was so happy to have a healthy set of twins. It didnât matter if David looked different from his twin.
Stacyâs husband loved them both.
âHe stood for more than 10 minutes staring at them and said he was just looking at Godâs wonderful work and that they are his best gift ever,â Stacy shared.

Stacy and Babajide also felt worried for their babies. In Nigeria, Davidâs condition is rare. People might wonder about the baby or might give rude comments.
Seeing adorable David, you may already know his condition.
