Was it a miracle or glitch in the Matrix? Did they have the same parents? We'll explain it to you. Keep reading and discover more about this incredible story. The Twins Already a mother of three, Stacy gave birth to twins by Caesarean section. When she first laid eyes on her special babies it was the most unexpected moment ever. She was completely unaware of their unique characteristic until their birth. When they were born, she was shocked. Huge Surprise "It was a huge surprise," says the mom remembering the moment. "Daniel came first, and then the nurse said the second baby had golden hair. " She couldn't believe what she was hearing. So she called her husband... Something Must Be Wrong Stacy asked him to be sure the nurse wasn't saying something wrong. It couldn't be true! "He couldn't believe what he saw either. They're so adorable, and it was like we were made a miracle, " she said to The Sun. Everyone was impressed, even the hospital staff. Shocked Staff The mother said nurses and doctors rushed to her bedside to take pictures of the babies. Many health professionals had "never seen anything like it," she added. Why were they so shocked by the appearance of the twins? The Different One Although the parents Stacy and Babajide, are black, little David was born with pale white skin and golden hair. As for Daniel, he has black skin and dark curly hair, just like his parents and his 4-year-old sister, Demilade. How is that possible? A Reason to Be Special The reason for David's different skin color is a genetic mutation called albinism. It is a condition in which the skin and hair lack pigmentation due to a congenital absence of melanin. But what David has is a bit more uncommon... Uncommon Condition David was born with an even more rare condition called oculocutaneous albinism that affects one in 20,000 births each year. But what about the number of twins with this condition? Different Twins? There are no data available on the number of twins born worldwide where only one has albinism. However, other cases have been reported in the Netherlands and Mozambique. But no matter how rare it is, it surprises everyone wherever Stacy goes. Oculocutaneous Albinism in Africa Cases of oculocutaneous albinism are rare in African countries, and Stacy believes her baby may be one of the only albino babies in the city, maybe in the country. And David's condition also makes him famous, which leads to many questions every time she meets someone new. Local Celebrities Their mother, Stacy, who is a designer, said her two children are treated like celebrities when they are outside and that people often wonder if the two little ones are hers. To that, she says, "I have to answer questions all the time when we're outside." Some of them are even a bit uncomfortable. Are They Yours? One of the questions she often answers is: "Excuse me, Madam, which of the two children is yours?" And according to Stacy, every time that she says the two of them, the woman gets the same reaction. People look at her like she is kidding. But she confesses that they are not the only ones to be surprised. A Confession "I was also very surprised when they were born, even as a mother, " she confesses. "When the doctor told me that my children were not the same, I did not know what to expect. " Only one thing made her believe it for sure. Unbelievable Situation Stacy said that she only believed when she saw how different they were in person. "But then I saw that they had different colored hair and skin and I couldn't believe it, so I'm not surprised that other people are surprised too. " But are they as different on the inside as they are on the outside? What About Their Personalities? Despite their noticeable differences in appearance, they have different and playful personalities that suit them well. The twins are best friends with each other and they love to dance with their father, Babajide. Everyone that meets the boys loves them. No Negativeness According to Stacy, "I have never had negative comments, and I am not afraid of what people think. " And she adds, "I feel about being their mother. I don't care what color their skin is because they're my babies. " And all that matters is one thing... All That Matters "All that matters is that I have my boys," she declares. And Stacy not only loves her boys a lot, but she also feels special about being their mother, because they are extraordinary twins. Her pride and love for them are bigger than anything else.
