We all are love for a baby’s uniqueness. It is not about what they look like, what they believe, where they came from, or who their parents.
Then, certain newborns are genuinely exceptional. Nigerian-Canadian photographer Judith Nwokocha has such a category of unique twins.
Judith’s son called Kamis has dark hair, eyes and complexion. The other half of the pair is Kachi, his albino twin sister.
“I recall going for my first scan when they told me ‘You are having a baby,’ and I said no, I’m having two,’” indicating that Judith knew for sure that she was carrying twins.
It was confirmed by the second ultrasound that our believe that carrying twins. Further, it was informed that one or both of the babies might have Down syndrome by the second ultrasound.
I remember the doctors warning me that Kachi may not make it due to she was usually behind, was extremely little, and had stopped developing at seven weeks old.
At first, she didn’t cry, leaving me to wonder: “What’s going to happen? How is she going to be?”
“I couldn’t believe it; at first, I believed they’d given me someone else’s kid.”
After some period of time, Judith said that “I was simply delighted my daughter was perfect. Further, my littles were healthy and I was not anxious for nothing.”
Except for the fact that she is from a different race, she might be me.
Kachi is a near-perfect young girl, despite her sensitive skin and poor vision. Judith is aware that she attracts attention when she walks down the street, but she doesn’t let it bother her.
She expressed, “It took me a moment to realize I’m going to be parenting an albino; I was extremely anxious about what others were going to say since having an albino, and a black kid is not normal”.
I was anxious about how she would be received in society and how she would be treated; therefore, I was sad as well.
As Judith says, the twins enjoy a warm and caring connection in strong brotherhood, and their mother believes that “they haven’t noticed anything unusual.”
