Black parents...white baby
from The Sun

'What the flip?'"
flip:〈話〉〔状況などの〕急展開、どんでん返し
like what the hell...

But as the baby's older brother and sister - both black - crowded round the "little miracle" at their home in South London, Ben declared: "Of course she's mine."

declare:~を宣言する、宣する、布告する、断じる、断言する、言明する、うたう

Blue-eyed blonde Nmachi, whose name means "Beauty of God" in the Nigerian couple's homeland, has baffled genetics experts because neither Ben nor wife Angela have ANY mixed-race family history.

baffle:(人)を途方に暮れさせる、迷わせる、困惑させる、まごつかせる、首をかしげさせる、けむに巻く、挫折させる、~をくじく

Pale genes skipping generations before cropping up again could have explained the baby's appearance.

He said: "In mixed race humans, the lighter variant of skin tone may come out in a child - and this can sometimes be startlingly different to the skin of the parents.

variant:異なる、さまざまな、種々の、変わりやすい

The expert said some unknown mutation was the most likely explanation.

mutation:《生物》突然変異(体)、変異株

I didn’t know about albino, is 先天的にメラニンが欠乏する遺伝子疾患.

科学者によるとアルビノは前述したよう、遺伝性である。元来メラニン色素の多い黒人の間にアルビノを持つ子供が生まれるのは珍しく、さらに兄弟のうち何人かがというのは、それ以上に大変珍しいとのこと。そして一番に特筆すべき点はアルビノを持って生まれた子供が肌の色だけではなく顔の作りまでもが白人だという。

Finally, parents said "All that matters is that she's healthy and that we love her.She's a proud British Nigerian."
It makes me warm feeling.
