I know this isn't celebrity news, but it's one of those "DAYUM" things that I just had to share.

A Long Island couple were suprised when little baby Jessica was born and had an afro. Thomas Andrews is white and his wife Nancy is Dominican Republic and their daughter Jessica is half black. How did this happen?

Apparently the fertility clinic the couple went to for in-vitro fertilization screwed up the sperm-donors and instead of using Thomas Andrews sperm they used someone elses. Someone else who's not white apparently.

I wonder how often this stuff happens but the couple doesn't suspect anything because there's no "racial" redflags to go off? To be honest, she doesn't look that different from their other daughter.

I would be pissed if that happened to me, but not because my kid would be mixed, but because my husband would think I did that on purpose just to mess with him. And I would too!
