Strangers Say Our Child Is Adopted | MY EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY

BELVANA and Natalino are regularly asked questions due to their daughter’s condition. And these questions range from being asked out of intrigue to ignorance. The couple have three children; five-year-old Zivah, two-year-old Zayana and six-month-old Zander. Zayana has albinism and when the family are out in public, they are approached by strangers. Natalino said: “People ask me unnecessary questions like whether she is my child or not?” Belvana explained that when she is out with Zayana and Zivah, people approach her too. She said: “They'll ask if they share a dad, or people would want to touch her hair, or they'll ask me if I'm the nanny.” The mum-of-three began posting content on social media and creates informative videos about albinism as well as family life. She said: “I like to use my platform to create awareness about albinism, because I realise that people are actually ignorant about it.” The family hopes to help educate people and address some of the discrimination people with albinism face. Belvana said: “My hope is really that she grows into a confident young girl. But also that she doesn't let comments get to her.”

I’m a black mom with a wonderful child (now 18 year old) with Albinism. Trust me when I say your child will grow up to be EVERYTHING they want to be, if you allow the environment to thrive. Schools will try to limit them. Bullying can be real. But your girl is beautiful. 🥰. My kiddo is now going off to a top uni in the Uk. You guys have a LOT of knowledge. That’s great. Keep growing. Definitely connect more with NOAH, go to conferences if you ever get the chance. Your daughter will LOVE connecting with others like herself. It’s an amazing community. Many blessings to your wonderful family.

Glad they live in a country where doctors explain it and they aren't shunned for it, or worse, the girl is hunted down for body parts used in witchcraft. Whoever asked if she was adopted obviously didn't know about Albinism. Why are there still people who don't know about this? It's pretty common, considering, both in humans and animals. She is adorable.

If people are so curious then go on google. People don't know boundaries. People don't understand that they DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW AND IT'S NOT THEIR OBLIGATION TO EDUCATE YOU. IT;S OFFENSIVE to ask some questions. The sense of entitlement reaches all the way into information and peoples compulsion to need to know now.

I remember a Maury episode where this black woman has a kid who was a ginger. He was pale with orange hair. The father was denying that child which he was also black. She was 100% positive he was the father. I was laughing along too with the guy. Like there's no way that child was his. Well he was the father after all! Everyone was shocked in the audience! His face was priceless! It shows just because a child looks nothing like their parents doesn't mean it's not their child. ☺️

@@Raising_Zivah_Zayana_Zander that is sad though because I guess I had an assumption that British people were more educated but I guess not in every thing, sadly.

Yes there is, and one can also do genetic counseling before even falling pregnant to find out your chances of getting a child with albinism. I’ve done a video on this - kzfaq.infojMauN71OejU?si=-mHOEjRzXL18jSIo

Having albinism is not a death sentence. She is a beautiful child with a wonderful loving family. I went to school with a sister and a brother when i lived in San Diego who had albinism. I mean it is not the kids that are weird it is the adults sometimes. The comment about are you sure you are the father or are you the nanny is stupid. Your daughter looks exactly like you both the difference is she is without melanin. She needs to be careful the kids i went to school with always had to use a lot of sun block and cover up because the sun could burn them more easily.
@katinkaraab1964 4 күн бұрын
Even if you are not aware of albanism, the kid is so obviously a sibling to the others (if you look at her nose, lips and jawline) that pretty much everyone who actually looks at those kids would figure out that she must have some sort of condition. People just love to be stupid to hide their offensive nature.
