Texas woman gives birth to twins - from different fathers

One set of twins from two different dads? It's a long shot, but a set of twins from Texas (not pictured above) proves it really can happen.

The 11-month-old twin boys born to a Texas mom have a lot in common, but one thing they don’t share is a father.

That’s because their mother, Mia Washington, cheated on her partner, James Harrison, according to the Daily Mail, and her fling resulted in a one-in-a-million double conception. The result is that one twin, Jordan, is James’s son but the other one, Justin, was fathered by a man whose identity has not been released.

The Dallas mother became suspicious about her sons’ paternity when she realized that their facial features were dissimilar, according to the Daily Mail. She visited Clear Diagnostics DNA Lab, had a paternity test, and learned that there was just a 0.001 chance that the twins could have the same father.

“I have twins who have different dads,” the mom told the newspaper. “Out of all the people in America and all the people in the world, this had to happen to me.”

Authorities say it is extremely rare for this to happen.

“It’s very crazy, most people don’t believe it can happen but it really can,” Genny Thibodeaux, from the Clear Diagnostics DNA Lab, told the Mail.

In order for it to happen, “The infidelity would have had to occur within a 24 to 48 hour period,” says Dr. Joseph Finkelstein, a Manhattan obstetrician and gynecologist. “Once the egg is released and gets fertilized, the system shuts down, so although it technically could happen, it would have to happen in two days or less.”

The likelihood of having twins without any medical intervention such as the use of fertility drugs is about 1 in 100, Finkelstein says.

In the case of the Texas twins, there was never any health threat to the babies during the pregnancy because they were fathered by different men.

“It’s not a baby issue since they had different placentas,” Finkelstein explains. “The two babies are totally separate entities. Babies can have different blood types even if they have the same father.”

James Washington has agreed to raise both twins as his own, according to the Daily Mail, and the couple intends to tell their kids the whole story when they are a little older. Meanwhile, their family will be expanding soon: Mia Washington is expecting baby number three.

“Five months ago we found out that I was pregnant again and our new baby is due to arrive in the autumn,” she told the Daily Mail. “Right now I’m fully committed to taking care of my family and making sure their needs are met. I can guarantee there’ll be no questions raised this time around.”

Finkelstein says it’s common for twins not to resemble each other - even when they do have the same dad. “In the movie 'Twins', you have Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito,” he says. “Think about how different those two look.”

that last quote(disregarding the name Finkelstein), using Hollywood fiction as a scientific example, fucking lol

Actually it is only unusual among humans because most women don't fuck that many different guys so frequently. Fraternal twins are always two separate eggs that are fertilized, except USUALLY it is by the same guy.

Just like dogs and cats, which frequently have multiple fathers for their litters. Just like this bitch, when they are in heat they breed with numerous males if give the opportunity.

The saddest case was the Dutch couple. She went to a fertility clinic and had invitro, it was supposed to be with her husbands sperm but the lab messed up and got a black guys sperm in the mix (shared the same dropper or something). One kid is white, the other is black (they know who the father is).

As a mother you would love them whatever, but as a father, I can't possibly think what you guys would feel.

Yeah, and they are both her genetic children. I guess it took them a few months to figure it out, they saw something was wrong but didn't get a DNA test for a while.

Makes ya wonder how many screw ups there are at those fertility clinics that no one knows about? The only reason this couple had a DNA test was because one of the kids was obviously not white.

There was a doctor 10 years back or so that ran a fertility clinic, turned out he was artificially inseminating women for YEARS. Guess what he was using? LOL. Even the nurses said it was odd because they didn't keep or order doner sperm for the clinic.

They figure he spawned 50+ kids, no one knows for sure. Incest issues were brought up but realistically even if two of the kids did meet up it wouldn't cause severe genetic problems (is usually only an issue if done over several generations).

Was pretty funny though.

Some of Jacobson's patients who had conceived through donor insemination agreed to genetic testing. At least seven instances were identified in which Jacobson was the biological father of the patients' children, including one patient who was supposed to have been inseminated with sperm provided by her husband.
