Unexpected Wonders: Mexican-American Parents’ Astonishment at the Arrival of a Blond Baby Girl with Light Skin
Someone once said that every person is a miracle. And while it’s true that we all come in different shapes and sizes, it’s a common belief that genetics isn’t Russian roulette. As a result, most parents anticipate their children to look like them, but some of these miracles are more shocking than others, leaving their parents speechless only seconds after yelling their welcome to this new world.
This was exactly the case of the Mexican-American couple, Edith and Raul Garcia. And while their baby girl is not the first albino beauty we’ve marveled at, her story is truly special!
A mum-of-two was left confused and questioning herself when her baby girl was born with ivory-colored skin and blonde hair.
When Edith Garcia and her husband Raul learned they were expecting another child in 2013, they were both surprised and overjoyed. They already had a beautiful baby daughter named Mariah and were looking forward to welcoming another child into the world.
But after she gave birth in June 2014, the room went silent (except the baby’s screams, of course) after seeing the newborn had porcelain skin and completely blonde hair! “I didn’t know what to think,” said Edith.
