A Double Take in Black & White
Friday, March 10, 2006
They are sooo cute!
A mixed-race British mom gave birth to twins recently - one of each. No, not a boy and a girl. Two girls - one black, the other white. The odds of such a birth are about a million to one, experts said.
"It was a shock when I realized that my twins were two different colors," Kylie Hodgson, 19, told London's Daily Mail. "But it doesn't matter to us - they are just our two gorgeous little girls."
Hodgson and her partner, Remi Horder, 17, were both born to mixed-race
parents. Little Kian and Remee share a love of apples and the Teletubbies, their proud mom says. Fertility experts speculate that a sperm containing all-white genes fused with an egg with all-white genes, and a sperm with all-black genes fused with an all-black gene egg to produce the fraternal twins.

The fertility experts explanation sounds kind of fishy to me but I'm no geneticist.
I'll concur with the majority and agree the babies are cute.

They are beautiful!! I saw a special about some twins somewhere else in Europe that were this way. The mom gets a lot of comments about the black son. Sad part is they named the boys Toon and Koon. Guess which one the black one is? Yep, Koon.
