Aunty Bella is our agony aunt column on BellaNaija. We launched this column in the early days of BN and periodically feature issues sent in by BN readers. We hope the BN family can offer insightful advice as well.

I met a wonderful girl recently. Planning to ask her out & start dating her by Xmas but just discovered she’s got albino relatives (her dad and an uncle). My parents and siblings think it’s soooo off limit!

Honestly I am confused. I personally don’t think I will have any issues with albinos although I have never had contact with any. My biggest fear is bringing a child to the world that is likely to suffer from social segregation. What’s the genetic risk of having albino kids?

Thank you.
