What They Witnessed
When Donna was finally handed her twin girls after hours of labor, she was shocked. In one arm, she held a baby with a snow-white complexion. This little darling had ginger hair and deep blue eyes and was named Lucy. However, the other baby girl held in her mother’s arm looked quite different. She had a significantly darker complexion, brown hair, and beautiful brown eyes. She was named Maria. How was this even a possibility?
What Are Fraternal Twins?
Fraternal twins are created from two separate eggs, both of which are fertilized by two different sperm. In a sense, you could get biracial twins if the mother chose to have intimate relations with a man of two different races (white and black, for example). However, the odds are astronomical because there are so many factors to consider. Likewise, most women only release one egg to be fertilized a month. There’s no telling if you could release two eggs or when you might.
