Virginia and Catalina are two albino girls from Argentina who became viral on social media when they were born four years ago.
In 2018 Jorge Gomez and his wife received the good news that they were going to become parents to two twin baby girls. The couple already had a son and became ecstatic when the doctors told them they were expecting twin girls.
According to Gomez, the pregnancy was completely normal, and his wife used to visit her doctor regularly.

“When they gave us the news that we would have two babies, it gave us a lot of happiness, and when they were born, and we saw that they were albinos that happiness did not change at all. For us it is a blessing,” he told a local news outlet.
The father-of-three said that there were no complications and everything went smoothly. However, in the 36th week, doctors told him that they had to deliver the babies immediately.
So, the girls were born prematurely in the 36th week. But they were healthy and weighed normal. Catalina was born two minutes earlier than Virginia. They both weighed 5.95 lbs and 5.5 lbs, respectively.

The unusual thing about the newborn girls was their milky white hair. Gomez and his wife didn’t see any kid like that before in their lives, nor did anyone else.
So, the girls became an overnight sensation in Argentina in 2018 and made headlines in many media outlets and newspapers.
The pictures of them went all over the internet, and people were amazed to see two small girls born with snow-white hair.
According to LV12, the twins were born with a rare genetic disorder, albinism in which there is a lack of pigmentation in the skin.
People with albinism do not have enough melanin pigment in their skin and are born with either white or blonde hair. This condition also affects their coloring and eyesight. Some babies even have ginger hair, depending on the amount of melanin in their skin.
Catalina and Virginia were the first-ever kids born with albinism in Argentina. Their rare condition made them popular in the country.

“When they gave us the news that we would have two babies, it gave us a lot of happiness, and when they were born, and we saw that they were albinos, that happiness did not change at all,” Jorge Gomez told LV12.
He said he felt super blessed to be their father and never once thought that they were different from other kids or something was wrong with them.
“There were some precautions that we as parents had to bear in mind. For example, the girls are extremely sensitive to UV rays, which affect their skin and can cause sunburn and even cancer in a worst-case scenario,” said Gomez.
“So, we have to be extra cautious all the time and make sure that they are not going in the sunlight and are well protected from extreme weather conditions, especially hot weather.”
The twins are now four years old and look even more beautiful as they are growing up.
“You are an irresponsible mother !! You look at the phone, with the child at your feet… ” What was the woman’s explanation?

On the Internet, a photo from an airport showing a mother using the phone while her infant is left on the ground covered in a blanket has caused a lot of criticism. The young mother received a lot of backlash in the virtual space for leaving her infant on the floor, treating it like luggage, and instead choosing to sit on the phone.
When the picture was shared online with a well-known quotation from Albert Einstein, “I fear the day when technology will be more important than interpersonal relationships,” the image went viral. A new generation of fools is going to emerge in the world.

Although she appears to be a deranged mother at first, the reason behind the woman who abandoned her infant on the ground will cause us to reconsider our tendency to judge people based just on their outward appearance.
When the picture that was shot without her consent became viral online and was accompanied by derogatory remarks like “You are a distorted mother!!” The woman made the decision to be honest, saying, “You sit on the phone, the baby at your feet, and you don’t care about him.”
After their flight was canceled, Molly Lensing—a pediatric nurse by trade with two other kids at home—and her two-month-old daughter found themselves stuck at the Colorado airport for over 20 hours.
“After spending too many hours in her stroller, Anastasia was exhausted, and my hands were sore from carrying my bags and cuddling with her.” On a television broadcast, Molly said, “I had to tell all the family members where we were, and he needed a place to lay down.”
The woman added that she noticed her picture floating around the Internet a few months after the bad encounter she had at the Colorado airport. Molly started getting hateful remarks on Facebook after a few internet users recognized her name. While some commented that she was “a terrible mother,” others defended her.
“I felt as though someone had invaded my private. I was worried that my supervisor or one of my coworkers would see the photo and get fired because I work at a pediatric clinic. Fortunately, Molly Lensing stated that this did not occur.
