Doctors Discover Dallas Twins Have Two Different Dads

A Texas mother of twins got the shock of her life when doctors revealed that her 11-month-old boys do not have the same father.

http://doubledoublethoughts.blogspot.com - Twin boys, 11-month-old Justin and Jordan, have different fathers. (image courtesy myfoxdfw.com) Mia Washington decided to get some expert advice when she and her partner noticed that twins Justin and Jordan had different facial features.

Paternity tests then revealed what had happened — two eggs had been fertilized by two different sperm and there was a 99.99% chance the twins had different dads.

Doctors at the DNA lab in Dallas, Texas had never seen such a result.

Washington later admitted she had had an affair and got pregnant by two different men at the same time.

"Out of all people in America and of all people in the world, it had to happen to me, she told myfoxdfw.com. “I'm very shocked."

"It is very crazy. Most people don't believe it can happen, but it can,” Genny Thibodeaux, Clear Diagnostics President, told the news station.

When twins have two fathers, doctors call it heteropaternal superfecundation, according to myfoxdfw.com. It's so rare — there are only a handful of documented cases in the world.

Thousands of people from around the world are flocking to the website for B.C.-based Hancock Wildlife Foundation to watch live streaming video of a pair of bald eagle eggs. Here is a live camera view of the excitement!!





Two cameras, set up near a nest in Delta, B.C., first caught the mother laying the eggs in February.

With the eaglets ready to emerge any time now, more and more viewers are tuning in, watching for the slightest sign of their arrival.
