Are You Kidding Me? Twins With Different Fathers..

Are you kidding me? pregnant with sperm fathered by two
men?….
A woman in New Jersey was shocked after a DNA test
revealed that her 20-month-old twins have two different
fathers.

Court documents identifies the mother as T.M. She needed

DNA tests to be done on her 20-month old babies in order to

establish paternity, so, the father can pay for child support.

But, the DNA test revealed the twins have different fathers.

It was further revealed that she was with another man, the

same week she must have conceived the twins with her former

partner.

Scientists claim this phenomenon known as “heteropaternal

superfecundation” is very rare (about 1 in 13,000 of such

reported cases), but yet, very possible.

Heteropaternal superfecundation occurs when two or more of a

woman’s eggs are fertilized by different men within the same

ovulation period.

This is because a woman can release more than one egg

during ovulation. In addition, sperm can live up to 5 days in a

woman. Hence, the possibility of multiple conception by

different fathers.

The experts testified at court saying “The twins born to T.M.

were born from two eggs that were fertilized from different

fathers during the same menstrual cycle.”

This is not the first time this would be happening, in May 2009,

11-month-old Dallas-born twins Justin and Jordan were

reported to have different fathers, same as Jayla and Julius in

April 2011.
