Texas 2-Step: Twins Have Different Dads

Mom says she had an affair; paternity tests reveal rare situation

Share

(Newser) – A Texas mom checked with doctors when she noticed her twins didn’t look much alike—and learned they had different dads, Fox News reports. Much to the surprise of her partner, paternity tests showed two eggs had been fertilized by different sperm; the woman said she’d had an affair and had been impregnated by two men at the same time. “I'm very shocked,” Mia Washington said.

“Most people don't believe it can happen, but it can,” said an expert. Only a few such cases have ever been recorded.

I think "tameesha_sharpton" is the latest screen name for the redneck white racist who used to go by "shaniqua_jackson"... (Get the formula for these names?)

I don't get why twins looking different is cause for her to check paternity. Not all twins are identical. She must've had sex with both men within a few days of each other..I don't know, my mind has been blown by this story Reply
