As our baby was born, my wife’s first words were, “THAT’S NOT MY BABY!” Panic filled the room as she cried, “THERE’S NO WAY! I NEVER SLEPT WITH A BLACK MAN!” The nurse calmly reminded her, “She’s still attached to you.”
I stood frozen until my wife whispered, “But… she has your eyes.” I looked closer—our baby had deep brown skin but striking green eyes, just like mine.
Confused, I asked, “What’s going on?” My wife, sobbing, said, “I swear to you, I don’t know. This doesn’t make any sense.” We were both terrified.
