A mixed-race British mom gave birth to twins recently - one of each.

No, not a boy and a girl. Two girls - one black, the other white.

The odds of such a birth are about a million to one, experts said.

"It was a shock when I realized that my twins were two different colors," Kylie Hodgson, 19, told London's Daily Mail. "But it doesn't matter to
us - they are just our two gorgeous little girls."

Hodgson and her partner, Remi Horder, 17, were both born to mixed-race parents.

Little Kian and Remee share a love of apples and the Teletubbies, their proud mom says.

Fertility experts speculate that a sperm containing all-white genes fused with an egg with all-white genes, and a sperm with all-black genes fused
with an all-black gene egg to produce the fraternal twins.

I heard about that story as well. Did you heard about the story about a caucasian mother from an european country gave birth to twins. One was white and the other was black. It happend because there was a mix up with the sperm donors at a fertility clinic. Along with her husbands sperm, the mother received the sperm from an black donor by accident.
