Black Mum and Dad Gave Birth to 3 WHITE Kids. What Happened Next Will Break Your Heart!
Jose Mary Fernandez Giantraji and Jo were a loving black couple living in a slum in northeastern Brazil. They had dreams of having a big family, and even though they didn’t have much money, they knew they would take good care of each of their children.
Their dreams came true when Jose Mehdi got pregnant, and the couple couldn’t wait to meet their new baby. When the day came for Jose Mary to give birth, she was in for a big surprise. The surprise: the baby had a different skin color from what she and the nurses expected. Instead of having dark skin like her and her partner, Jo, the baby had white skin and blonde hair.
Jose Mehdi couldn’t believe her eyes and thought the nurses must have made a mistake. When Jo finally arrived at the hospital, Jose Mary was worried about how he would react to their baby’s unexpected appearance. She was afraid that he might be shocked, disappointed, or worse, suspicious of her.
But as Jo entered the room, his face immediately lit up with excitement and joy. Yes, he was also surprised, but his eyes sparkled with love as he held their little one in his arms. Jose Mehdi let out a sigh of relief, grateful that Jo’s reaction was filled with acceptance and love.
The doctors, understanding the couple’s confusion, kindly explained that their baby had a condition called albinism, which wasn’t common in their community. Albinism is a genetic mutation that results in little or no production of the pigment melanin. The type and amount of melanin your body produces determine the color of your skin, hair, and eyes.
The situation was still surprising and confusing because both Jo and Jose Mehdi, along with their parents, have dark skin. Their baby’s albinism meant that she had less pigment in her skin, hair, and eyes, making her look white with blonde hair. The doctors assured Jose Mary and Jo that their baby was healthy, although she might face challenges with her eyesight and be sensitive to the sun. Unfortunately, there was no cure for albinism.
Jose Mehdi worried about protecting their baby from the sun because she knew they couldn’t afford the things their baby needed. The couple learned that they would need dark clothes, sunscreen, and to keep the baby out of the sun. It felt like a big challenge for their poor family.
Despite their worries, Jose Mehdi and Jo chose a beautiful name, Ruth, for their white-skinned daughter. They saw her as a special gift and promised to love and care for her no matter what. Little did they know this was just the beginning of their journey as a very different family.
Two years after Ruth joined their family, Jose Mary and Jo had gotten used to the challenges of raising a child with albinism. Despite their money problems, their love for Ruth grew stronger every day. Jo and Jose Meri still wanted more kids, and soon, Jose Mary was pregnant again. The couple eagerly awaited their second baby, believing that this child would have a normal dark-skinned complexion. They loved their first daughter’s unique look but wanted a baby with skin like theirs.
Finally, the big day arrived, and Jose Mehdi gave birth to a baby girl. And once again, she had the same white skin and blonde hair as her elder sister, Ruth. Everyone was stunned by this unexpected surprise. The doctors and the couple still couldn’t believe it. The chance of having two albino kids one after the other was very, very low. Yet, Jo and Jose Mehdi named their new daughter Stephanie, loving and accepting her just like Ruth.
Jose Mehdi and Jo, despite the surprises they had already experienced, were still determined to have more children. They cherished their albino daughters, Ruth and Stephanie, and loved them unconditionally. The couple’s wish for another child came true when Jose Mehdi discovered she was pregnant once again.
As the months went by, Jose Mehdi and Jo eagerly awaited the arrival of their baby. When the day finally came, Jose Mehdi gave birth to a boy named Kawan. As the couple suspected, Kawan had the same white skin and blonde hair as his albino siblings. Although Jose Mary and Jo were not surprised by Kawan’s appearance, the doctors and geneticists who were involved in their case were completely amazed.
The probability of having three consecutive albino children was incredibly low, estimated at 1 in 17,000. The doctors and geneticists concluded that both Jo and Jose Mehdi carried the albinism gene from their own parents, which explained why their children had the condition.
Jose Mary and Jo felt a mix of emotions when they learned this. They were grateful for their beautiful children but also felt a deep sense of responsibility. They knew that raising children with albinism would bring unique challenges, but their love for their family remained strong.
Determined to provide a loving and safe environment, Jose Mehdi and Jo learned about the importance of protecting their albino children from the sun and the risk of skin cancer. Despite financial struggles, they did everything they could to ensure the well-being of their precious little ones.
A few years later, Jose Mary and Jo’s family grew even bigger. They were thrilled to welcome a little boy and a girl into their lives. These new children had beautiful dark skin, just like their mom and dad.
By this time, the couple had almost given up hope of having dark-skinned children. It was amazing to see the contrast between their albino children and their dark-skinned siblings, showing how unique their family was with three albino and two dark-skinned children.
Jose Mehdi and Jo’s family became a true example of diversity. Despite all this, Jose Mehdi and Jo loved their children deeply. They created a loving and supportive home, teaching their kids to be strong, proud, and confident in who they are.
Yet, the family had to face misunderstandings and judgments from others in their community, where many people were struggling with poverty. It was common for others to express surprise or ask questions when they saw a black couple with children who appeared white. Jose Mehdi and her children had to endure a lot of sometimes funny and sometimes very hurtful comments.
Some people even mistook her for the nanny instead of their mother. Some children saw the white-skinned children as freaks, which deeply saddened Jose Mehdi. Yet, sadly, the worst was yet to happen.
On a sunny Saturday morning, Jose Mary was taking her three eldest children, Ruth, Stephanie, and Kawan, to the market. As they were walking there, they passed by a group of security guards. One of the guards stopped Jose Mary and asked her if she was the mother of the children. Jose Mary said yes, but the guard didn’t believe her. He looked at her dark skin and said that the children looked too white to be hers.
Jose Mehdi was shocked and confused. She tried to explain that she was the children’s mother, but the guard wouldn’t listen. He held Jose Mary down in front of her kids and asked his fellow guards to call the police. Within minutes, police officers arrived at the scene.
The police officers took the confused children away from Jose Mary and put them in a police car. Jose Mary was handcuffed and driven to the police station. The officers didn’t even bother asking the children who Jose Mary was to them.
Jo, Jose Mary’s husband, was at work at the steel factory when he heard what had happened. He quickly rushed to the police station and demanded to see his wife and children. The police refused to let Jo, a black man, see the children, but they allowed him to talk to Jose Mehdi.
Jo was very angry. He couldn’t believe that the police would take his children away from their mother just because of their race. He told Jose Mary that he would do everything he could to get the children back. Jo hurried back home and gathered all of the relevant documents that he could find, including Jose Mehdi’s medical records, the children’s birth certificates, and their marriage certificate. He also took a copy of the police report.
Jo went back to the police station and demanded to see the police chief. When he was granted an audience, he showed the police chief the documents and explained that Jose Mary was his wife and the children’s mother. Despite the evidence in front of them, the police officers were still shocked as to how two black parents could have three white children.
The police chief apologized for the misunderstanding and explained that the reason for Jose Mehdi’s arrest was because of the high kidnapping rates in the area. He immediately ordered his officers to release Jose Mehdi and the children to Jo. Jo knew that the real reason his wife was arrested was because of her skin color, not for suspected kidnapping. He knew the police officers wondered how a poor black woman could be with three white kids.
Yet, despite his anger at the police officers, Jo was very happy to be reunited with his wife and children. He thanked the police chief and then took his family home. Jose Mehdi, Jo, and their children were relieved to be home safe and sound. But sadly, since then, Jose Mehdi always had to carry a means of identification with her whenever she went out with the kids. She didn’t want to go through the same experience again.
Jose Mehdi’s greatest wish was for people to see her children beyond their skin color, to appreciate them for who they were. She knew that was a big thing to wish for in her biased community, but she believed it could be possible someday.
