I had never heard of this before until the other day. I seen something about it on the news and it said there was one white baby and one African American baby. That is something else.

I watched a documentary recently that was about these type cases. Their are several sets of black/white twins born to couples. Seems weird at the initial thought of it but not so much when you remember that we are genetically that of both parents.

Never even heard about something like that, pretty strange... But I've heard and seen twins who are a boy/man and a girl/woman and stuff like that. But if mom and dad are white and black, they could have black and white twins. The reason I haven't heard about black and white twins might be that I live in Finland and abou 0.001% of the population are black here

After all world is full of such things. What I can say for the girl like her dad, Father's gene is dominating. And the opposite thing happened to the other girl.

I have seen this happen before but it was because she was sleeping with two different men and conceived twice near the same time. In this instance I am assuming that they have ruled that out. She probably was carrying fraternal twins which can look vastly different because they are not any closer genetically than two children born at different times to the same parents. In other words the only thing that made them twins was their birthday.

I saw that on Yahoo news the other day. It's so interesting because the older twin girls look exactly alike except one is white and the other is black!
