Twin Sisters are Black and White - A Rare Occurrence
Written by admin on August 21st, 2007 in Mixed Children.
A mixed-race British mom gave birth to twins recently - one of each. 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.”
When Kylie Hodgson gave birth to twin daughters by caesarean section, both her and partner Remi Horder were relieved that both had arrived safely.
As the midwife handed over both girls for Kylie to hold she noticed a difference in their colour. Remee, who weighed 5lb 15oz, was blonde and fair skinned. Her sister Kian, born a minute later weighing 6lb, was much darker.
‘It was a shock when I realised that my twins were two different colours,’ said 19 year-old Kylie. ‘But it doesn’t matter to us - they are just our two gorgeous little girls.’
Both Kylie and partner Remi Horder, are mixed race and though it may be no surprise to many mixed-race families to have children of different shades, it is a much rarer occurrence in twins.
According to the Multiple Births Foundation, baby Kian must have inherited the black genes from both sides of the family, whilst Remee inherited the white ones. The odds against of a mixed race couple having twins of dramatically different colours are apparently a million to one.
The twins were born by caesarean in April last year because one of the girls was lying in an awkward position in the womb.
‘I didn’t see them at first,’ added their mother. ‘They were both whisked away to be checked over and then the midwife came back and placed them both in my arms.’ ‘I noticed that both of them had blue eyes,’ said Kylie, ‘but whilst Remee was blonde, Kian’s hair was black and she had darker skin. It seemed strange, but I was feeling so ill that I didn’t really take it in at that stage.’
The next day she mentioned the colour difference to her mother, who told her that Remee’s skin would darken as she grew older. But as the weeks passed, Remee became lighter still while Kian went darker. And while Remee’s eyes stayed blue, Kian’s turned brown.
‘There are some similarities between them,’ said Kylie. ‘They both love apples and grapes, and their favourite television programme is Teletubbies. If they haven’t seen each other for a few hours, they are so pleased to see each other and will hold out their arms, wanting to hug each other. And their smiles just light up their faces. I’ll explain it all to them when they get older about why they look so different.’
Some may argue that Remee and Kian are black and white but to those who know better they are just mixed-race twins.

I wonder how many different guys did the mom sleep with at same time. Very possible for gang bang.

For goodness sake, Fabi, they are twins! Gang Banging, lol, where on earth did you pull that from? One egg, one spern, two babies, not rocket science. Your uneducated comment is hurtful to the parents and to the very beautiful children.

They are not identical twins. Therefore, it is possible that the sperm that fertilized each of the eggs, is from different males. The fact that they are called “partners” leads me to believe that they aren’t married which would make it more likely that she would have sex with other men.
However, both parents are mixed race so I guess it would be technically more likely that this would happen, although a rare occurence.

Mixed race people carry both black & white genes, goes without saying. Basic biology, that.
Please my people, stop flaunting your ignorance in an effort to be cool. That’s the exact reason why our black children perform badly in school.

Twinning can occur either because one fertilized egg splits into two - identical twins, or because two eggs are accidentally released at the same time. Technically, it is possible for a different man to be one of the girls’ fathers. Although mom would’ve had to have slept with both guys within hours of eachother.
Let’s put it this way, if I was their dad, I’d go with the percentages and ask for a DNA test to be on the safe side - although he already might have gotten it done.

Sorry to burst the family’s bubble, but the light baby looks albino… I have albino genes, and just by looking at her one can see that she carries the albino genes. Has nothing to do w/ recessive genetic heritage.
