Twins With Different Skin Color Born
(Dec. 31) - Defying the odds for a second time, a mixed-race couple in England is once again celebrating the birth of twins who have a different skin color, reports Britain's Daily Mail.
In 2001, Dean Durrant (who is black) and Alison Spooner (who is white) had twin daughters, with one looking just like Durrant and one just like Spooner. Seven years later, Spooner gave birth to another set of twin girls, and once again, one infant has the same pigmentation as her father and the other baby takes after her mother.
"I was shocked when I first found out I was pregnant with twins again -- but I never thought for one second they would turn out the same as last time," Spooner told The Sun.
The chances of giving birth to a second set of twins with different skin colors is 1 in 500,000.

Re: Twins With Different Skin Color Born
 Wow - I remember seeing pictures of those twins (the first born twins) years ago. That is amazing that it happened again.

Re: Twins With Different Skin Color Born
With a 1 in 500,000 odds, I would think that mathematically, it's happened several times already.
I admit that it's very unusual having two sets like that, but it's similar to having two sets of boy/girl twins....
