Rosamere Fernanda de Andrade, 31, from Recife gave birth to a white baby. When she held her newborn baby daughter, she assumed there had been a terrible mistake as while she was black, her child had white skin, blonde hair and blue eyes.
Ms de Andrade and her then husband Joao, are both African Brazilian, but their first daughter suffered from the rare genetic condition, albinism.
Ruth, who is now 14, was born without any skin pigment and looked considerably different to her parents.
Since having her first child, Ms de Andrade, 31, has given birth to two other albino children as well as three who are black.
Ms de Andrade said the difference between her family is so vast that she is often mistaken for the albino children's nanny.
