‘Why Is My Baby’s Skin So Dark?’: Chinese Couple Shocked and Seek Answers

Daniel Kim Views  

China Times

A couple in Shanghai faced a crisis of trust when their newborn appeared to have unexpectedly dark skin, sparking questions about the baby’s parentage. However, experts later clarified the misunderstanding.

China Times reported on Monday that a 30-year-old woman was shocked that her newborn son was handed to her with skin markedly darker than she anticipated. Her husband refused to hold the baby and demanded a paternity test, questioning whether the child was biologically his. The mother expressed her distress, saying, “I’ve never been to Africa and don’t have any Black acquaintances.” She added that she felt wrongly accused and was on the brink of divorce.

Medical experts, however, pointed out that newborns often have thin skin and underdeveloped blood circulation, temporarily making their skin appear darker. Over time, the skin tone often lightens naturally.

Online commenters offered words of comfort, noting that this is a common occurrence. They criticized the husband’s skepticism and suggested that the couple should discuss their relationship seriously once the paternity test results are available.
