A black couple told Monday of their shock and mystification when their son was born with white skin and blond hair. Francis Tshibangu admitted: \"My first thought was ‘Wow, is he really mine?\" He and his wife Arlette already have a two-year-old boy, Seth, whose features reflect his African parentage. But it is thought that baby Daniel, now 11 weeks old, has a slight genetic mutation. He is not an albino. Congo-born Tshibangu, 28, said his \"jaw dropped open\" when Daniel arrived at Leicester Royal Infirmary. \"I was too stunned to speak and I could see the doctors looking at each other, thinking the baby couldn\'t be mine. Then Arlette and I looked at each other and smiled and I knew he was. I have been with my wife for three years and there was never a question of infidelity, but seeing his white skin was a surprise to say the least.\" Tshibangu, a sociology student, added: \"The initial reaction from the nurses must have been that Arlette had had an affair. Their faces were a picture, but then I\'m sure mine was too. When I bent down and kissed him I got a better look at his features and could see he looked just like me and Arlette. He has my nose and my wife\'s lips. All we can say is that Daniel is our miracle and, though we are shocked by his white skin, we feel very blessed. He\'s beautiful.\" from / Gulf News
