7 World’s Most Unique Families

In a world where conformity is often the easy way out, it’s refreshing to come across families that break the mold. Taking into account that even the most ordinary family can be quite unique, it’s not a stretch to say that, let’s say, a family of Indian albinos, on a family where one guy married over 30 women and they have around 100 kids in total, would be a pain. Every family on this list has faced their own set of challenges and obstacles, but they have also found strength and resilience in its uniqueness.

1. The largest albino family

The head of the Pullan family, Roseturi, his wife Mani, their children, and grandchildren all claim to be very proud of their skin color. However, at the same time, it could become a problem when they go to the dentist or just do some shopping in the mall. The Pullan family are exiles in Delhi. They are laughed at, feared, and shunned for no other reason that their skin color. Additionally, being albinos, their skin does not have protection against UV rays and burns quickly, so they should not go outside on a hot day. As a result, life in India becomes very problematic for this family, as it’s very hot and sunny all year long. It’s a good thing that they are very happy to be special, as they consider their condition to be a gift from God.

2. Family of dwarfs

Friends call Trent and Amber Johnston “Brad and Angelina of the little people,” hinting at the fact that, like the famous Hollywood family, these two have adopted children from all over the world. Their son Alex is from South Korea, and their daughters Anna and Emma are from Siberia and China, respectively. Together with two kids of their own, the Johnston family has seven members and is the largest family of dwarfs in the world. All family members were diagnosed with achondroplasia, a disease that causes limb shortening, but they’re quite popular in America, as they’re all stars of their own reality show.

3. The hairiest family

All members of the Aceves family have been diagnosed with the same disease – hypertrichosis. The first member of this family who had this condition was the great-grandmother over 80 years ago. The hypertrichosis was then passed on to her son Jesus and his children and cousins. As a result, over 30 members of the Aceves family are now living with this rare illness. Three of Jesus’s daughters, who were born from completely different women, also inherited hypertrichosis.
