The doting mom, who's originally from Nigeria, says there are quite a few superstitions regarding albinos in her country of birth which was another reason she was worried.
"Where I come from minorities are mistreated so I'm grateful I live in a western country. But I was still worried about what people were going to say, how Kachi would be perceived by society and how people would treat her,ÔÇØ Judith says.
