Having children is probably the most fulfilling life event for any adult living on earth. That incredible moment of bringing new life into the world and starting a new family is absolutely amazing. For anyone who has experienced birthing a child or being a parent of a new baby can attest to this fact. Almost immediately upon bringing a child into the world, you’re entire life paradigm changes from caring about yourself first and foremost to now caring for your child above everything and anything else including yourself!

In today’s interesting story we feature a Married couple named Donna and Vince Alymer from Gloucester, England. Donna is 45 years old and her hubby Vince is 55 years old. Donna works at a warehouse full time while Vincent works as a scaffolder. This couple has a beautiful family of 3 amazing kids but they would soon find out that Donna would be pregnant again at age 45! At first they were a bit taken a back by the big news of the pregnancy but after that initial shock wore off they became super excited about the new little angel who would be added to their already amazing family.

They went to get an ultrasound hoping to get the good news that the baby looked and sounded healthy and possibly they may even be able to find out the gender of soon-to-be baby. While the ultrasound was in process and the doctor was examining Donna they were pretty stunned to find out they were going to have twins! They went to get an ultrasound hoping to get the good news that the baby looked and sounded healthy and possibly they may even be able to find out the gender of soon-to-be baby.

While the ultrasound was in process and the doctor was examining Donna they were pretty stunned to find out they were going to have twins! Also on top of that they were given more amazing news that both babies looked perfectly healthy and the pregnancy looked like it was going to run smooth without a problem. They got home and told their 3 children George, China and Jordan that they were about to have not 1 but 2 new little siblings.

The children were so excited while mom and dad were a tad nervous but at the end of the day realized that these new twins were a complete blessing and they were so thankful. It was a beautiful sunny but chilly day on January 16, 1997 when mama gave birth to her fraternal twin baby girls. The birth went very smooth and both babies came out healthy. They all breathed a sigh of relief after knowing they were very healthy with no underlying health conditions which can be an issue with mom’s who give birth in their late 40’s. The doctors brought the babies in for mom and dad to meet them and make their first impressions.

They were a bit taken a back because the fraternal twins couldn’t look more different than they did. The first baby girl named Lucy was very fair skinned, had bright red hair and blue eyes. The second baby girl named Maria was the exact opposite with a dark complexion, dark hair and brown eyes. If a stranger were to set eyes on the two baby girls it would be unimaginable to even think they were related let alone fraternal twins! Either way the family didn’t care how different they looked, they were both little angels and a blessing no matter what other people thought of them.

This is how people reacted to this post:

Thomasa - Although, both twins are beautiful, why does the lighter skin one hair look done? parents should not play into societal stereotypes.

Marie - Different colors? I see two pretty brown girls with different shades but still the same color….people of African descent span the entire range of skin color.

Tracy Shakur - I have a set of twin cousins in my family that are two different skin colors. They both look alike but one takes after their mother’s skin tone and the other took after their fathers. They’re both beautiful regardless of their skin tone.

Rana Simmons - I had twins 42 years ago and most people said “how do you tell them apart?” All I could say is I open my eyes and look at them. I knew immediately they were not identical, as one was very fare skinned and the other showed the olive complexion of our Sicilian ancestry. The first had red hair and light blue eyes while the other had what we refer to as Sicilian hazel. All sorts of differences happen! These girls are gorgeous, hands down! Beautiful!
