Super Rare Biracial Twins Born In Illinois, And “Nobody Believes They’re Twins”
These adorable twins from Quincy, Illinois, have sent the internet into meltdown after showing that not all twins have to look alike. According to the BBC, interracial couples have a 1 in 500 chance of having children born with different complexions.
Now nine months old, the girls who defied medical odds are biracial twins, Kalani and Jarani Dean, whose skin colour takes after each of their parents. Kalani takes after her mum, Whitney, who is caucasian, and Jarani takes after her dad, Tomas, who is African American.
The two adorable tots sent the internet into a frenzy, after Whitney posted a photo of the girls on her Facebook page with the caption: “We’re chromosome twins. “Kalani (on left) is light with blue eyes and Jarani (on right) is the darker one with brown eyes. This is rare but so awesome to share!” And you know what? We agree with her!
These nine-month-old twins have gone viral, after showing that not all twins have to look the same
The girls were born to an African American father, and a caucasian mother in Illinois, U.S.A

Their mom, Whitney, posted a photo of the twins on her Facebook page, and this is what made them go viral
“We’re chromosome twins…this is rare but so awesome to share!”
Nobody believes they’re twins, so let’s wait and see what pranks the girls will pull when they get older!
For the people saying that one twin is black and the other white, that is really silly and they should know better. Yes it makes it a good story, but these aren't black and white twins! They are both mixed raced one with a light complexion the other with a darker complexion. The lighter twin will also probably have a complexion change as she grows becoming more tanned.
Beautiful family but I hate these stories its not uncommon or rare it happens every damn day lol. My twins are Native American and Black and one is light the other is dark my mom has twins and her and my dad are black and one twin is light and one is dark. these stories are funny!

Why would people be surprised? Isn't that like saying "Oh my god, ONE TWIN IS A BOY AND THE OTHER IS A GIRL? How can this be!?" The concept of fraternal twins is already really common knowledge, so why would nobody believe they're twins?
Don't you go bringing logic and common sense to this!

Beautiful! I remember reading about a British family who has 2 sets of biracial twins. The way DNA works is absolutely fascinating.
Found an article about that family: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1103391/Mixed-race-couple-birth-black-white-twins--second-time.html

I don't know why this is surprising. Black people come in all shades. Sibling will look like strangers sometimes with same parents
Exactly it irks me to know end!! My whole family is a beautiful array of "black" I honestly cannot believe how surprising this is.

I have twin daughters with very different complexions. They started the exact same. Height and now one towers over the other. Biologically fraternal twins are just sisters and can take after anyone or a combination. These girls are so beautiful by the way. Congratulations.
Very interesting story and very cute twins. I'm not a twin but my mother and I are very similar and same with my sister and father. I guess even twins get more of one parents DNA then the other.
Cute. One of my sisters and I also were always told we looked similar since we were kids, although we were not twins, just a close age range. Then as adults, I moved abroad, went to visit home after 3 years, and while I was at my sister's place, a friend of her boyfriend's reaction was like "What is it? I'm seeing double!"

The dad must have mixed ethnic background to have a child with blue eyes. I love seeing the weird DNA lottery results! Happy and healthy babies by the look of it - adorable!
Not necessarily. Brown eyes both me and my ex, and our son has ice blue eyes. Both of us had one blue eyed grandmother. Genetics =cool!

Why are ppl making a big deal about this? This is so common now even on my dear small island. However you want to call it darker lighter complexion doesn't matter. These parents know that's their children and that's all that matter,period.
Eh. I'm Mexican and it is very common for siblings to have different skin tones.
