The arrival of a baby is always a cause for celebration, especially when it’s time to meet them face to face after months of anticipation. Ultrasounds offer glimpses of our little ones in the womb, but nothing compares to the moment when we finally hold them in our arms.
Babies often surprise us with their unique features, from a head full of hair to adorable dimples. But perhaps the most surprising twist occurs when a baby looks nothing like their parents.
This was the case for one family whose story has gone viral, sparking curiosity and speculation online. Keep reading to find out how it all went down…
Rachel, a cashier at Celina 52 Truck Stop in Tennessee, welcomed her son, Cash Jamal Buckman, into the world on February 17. However, what caught people’s attention was the fact that Rachel and her fiancé, Paul Buckman, are both white, while Cash appears to be Black.
The truck stop shared a photo of the happy family on Facebook, congratulating Rachel on her new arrival.
“Congratulations to our cashier Rachel and her fiancé Paul Buckman on their baby Cash Jamal Buckman being [born] on Saturday at 6:18pm,” the post read.
However, instead of receiving well-wishes, the post garnered comments questioning Cash’s paternity, with some suggesting that Paul might not be the biological father.
In response to the speculation, Celina 52 Truck Stop edited their post, adding: “Yes, Paul is the father. Rachel has African American DNA in her which can skip generations and cause a child to be born with darker skin.”
