Woman Gives Birth to Black and White Twins

twins

First of all, these girls are absolutely adorable. I'd love to shower them in kisses and hugs. Indeed, have you ever seen anything cuter?

Believe it or not, these two are sisters. No, they are not adoptive sisters, but they come from the same mother and father. In fact, they are twins. This is very rare indeed.
Experts say the chance of twins being born with such different physical characteristics is about a million to one.

If this doesn't provoke you to want to love the human race, I don't know what will. I mean, take a look at that. These girls aren't concerned about "race relations" or "privilege" or any of that mumbo jumbo. All they really care about is getting mother's milk, their diaper changed, and rocked to sleep.

The sad aspect of this story is that, as they grow older, they will discover they are different from each other. People will question their blood bond. Yet this, more than anything else, shows me the difference between skin colour is no greater than the difference between hair colour.

Still, what a beautiful sight.

What a lovely story, and I absolutely adore the way you worded it.

I have children, no twins alas, but they are of different races and they have never questioned their blood bond.

Thank you :)
