My one-in-a-million twin baby boys have two different fathers
My one-in-a-million twin baby boys have two different fathers
A mother's fling has resulted in her bearing twins – by different fathers.
Eleven-month-old Justin and Jordan Washington may have arrived in the world within just seven minutes of each other, but in an amazing twist of fate, they are half brothers.
Each has a different dad because their mother Mia Washington, had an affair and conceived two babies by different men at the same time.
Mummy's boy: Mia Washington with baby Justin, whose twin brother Jordan has a different father. The chance of twins having different biological fathers is one in a million
Bombshell: The new mother began to investigate after noticing her sons had different facial features. Pictured here with Jordan Washington
There is only a one-in-a-million chance of twins having different biological fathers.
One of the boys is James's son, but the other is fathered by another man, whose identity has not been released.
That's my boy: James Harrison with his biological son Jordan. Despite his partner's infidelity, James has agreed to raise both twins as his own
After learning about her infidelity, James agreed to forgive Mia and raise both twins as his own.
Mia, from Dallas, Texas, said: 'I have twins who have different dads.
'Out of all the people in America and all the people in the world, this had to happen to me.'
The truth came out when Mia visited Clear Diagnostics DNA Lab after noticing the twins have different facial features.
A paternity test confirmed her fears - it showed there was only a 0.001 chance that Justin and Jordan have the same father.
Authorities say the result is so rare that there are only a handful of known cases across the globe.
'It's very crazy, most people don't believe it can happen but it really can,' said Genny Thibodeaux, from Clear Diagnostics DNA Lab.
According to doctors, if a woman has more than one sexual partner while she is ovulating, there's a miniscule chance that different sperm cells can fertilise two separate eggs.
Dr Chris Dreiling, from the Paediatric Association of Dallas, told Fox News: 'Because sperm cells take a while to travel and eggs take a while to travel there can be an overlap.'
We are family: The couple and their twin boys - who are soon to be joined by another sibling
The couple is now coping with the aftermath of the DNA bombshell and plan to tell the twins when they're old enough to understand.
Mia added: 'When they opened the envelope and delivered the news they told me there was zero chance that James was Justin's father.
'My jaw dropped open.
'It was the weirdest thing to think that two little babies could have grown in my stomach together and been born seven minutes apart but yet have different fathers.
'I had never heard of it happening anywhere else in the world and literally had thought it would have been impossible.
'James said he would stay because he loved me and raise both of the twins as his own.
'I felt very wary at first, I kept thinking he'd try but then find out he couldn't cope with it and leave us after all.
'But everyday I'm thankful because the DNA result hasn't changed the way we are as a family. James is a good man; he's a great father and genuinely loves both of the twins.
'When they are old enough to know the truth about their different fathers I will tell them. Right now they are so young they don't know anything and they don't need to know.
'As far as I'm concerned, James is the father of both boys because he's the one there every morning when they get up and every night when they go to sleep.
'Some people may not agree with what I've done in the past but I have accepted my mistake and taken responsibility for it.
'If when he is older Justin wants to meet his real dad then that's his decision.
'Everyone around us has been shocked by the miracle of them having been conceived separately but born together.
'It's hard for me to wrap my head around it but those are the facts.
'Five months ago we found out that I was pregnant again and our new baby is due to arrive in the autumn.
'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!
'I'd advise other women to be careful about starting an affair - look what happened to me. Think hard about the consequences first, because the most bizarre things can happen when you least expect it!'
James said: 'It's a day by day thing.
'It's going to take time to build up trust between us like we had. Mia immediately came clean about her mistake and says she takes full responsibility for her actions.'

WHY CJI appeals to PM for creation of more family courts?
New Delhi, May 15 (PTI) Chief Justice of India K G Balakrishnan today
appealed to the Prime Minister and Chief Ministers of all states to create
more family courts in the country to settle matrimonial disputes amicably.
"I would appeal to the Prime Minister and I am thinking of writing to all
Chief Ministers to facilitate the creation of family courts in all districts
in the country," Justice Balakrishnan said.
Inaugurating the first family court of the capital at Dwarka district courts
premises here, he stressed that marriages should be protected like an
institution. "We should work together to bring a change in society.
Marriage is institution which should be protected," Justice Balakrishnan
said. Chief Justice of Delhi High Court Justice A P Shah, who was also
present with other Judges, said that as many as 15 family courts would be
set up across the capital by July.
The matter would be taken up with the Government to create a total of 35
such courts as required in the capital, he said. The idea of family court
was conceptualised in the Family Courts Act 1984, which mandated that all
sorts of matrimonial disputes including custody battle of children should be
settled amicably.

Till we have gender bias laws in India like 498a and DV, Family courts will only add to number of divorces, we need some strong mediation centers to resolve family disputes.
