[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 369911, member: 1991"] They're looking for a genetic reason, they think there is a one-off genetic change in this case. Someone I was talking to said that maybe the mum had an affair; well, there are several problems with this theory. First, there ARE going to be genetic tests, so a mother who had been playing around would at this stage have done whatever she could to avoid the media and the testing. her behaviour is that of a totally innocent woman. Second, the parents say they have no white relatives in their family that they know of. But for this mother to produce this child as the result from genes from a white person, the mother would have to have half her own genes from a blonde-haired, blue-eyed white person. For that to exist in hr genes and not have shown up somewhere already and also not be known about, is highly unlikely. No, what I am certain we are dealing with here, is a black African baby who just happens to have fair hair and pale eyes. But she is not white, not in the usual sense. But then - what do we understand about colour anyway? If this were an Australian Aboriginal baby, then regardless of her colour, she would be considered Aboriginal, fully entitled to all the rights of her race and culture. She is the child of her two very loving parents, the full sibling of their other children. Her colouring is a curiosity, a quirk. I just hope it doesn't get in the way for her - it shouldn't ever be a problem for anybody. Marg [/QUOTE]
