After six years, the family welcomed a second child, who also inherited this rare genetic condition. Patricia Williams had her third child, Redd, in 2012. Redd was born with strikingly white hair and distinctive almond-shaped eyes.
Initially, doctors and parents assumed he was simply blond, but as he grew, it became evident he had albinism. This prompted doctors to inquire about any family history of the condition.
After reflecting, the couple remembered Patricia’s 85-year-old grandmother, who was born with platinum-blond hair and stood out on an Indian reservation.
She had albinism, though it had gone unnoticed at the time. Old family photos even showed her as the only blonde among her Indian relatives, confirming the genetic link.
The couple’s second child, born six years later, also inherited the condition. Both children are thriving, showing no health issues aside from their distinctive hair and eye color.
Advertising agencies have already reached out to Redd with offers for photo shoots, fascinated by his unique appearance.
The parents of Redd (9) and Rockwell (2) find the attention amusing and are open to it as long as their children feel comfortable, even allowing passers-by to take photos with their permission.
