One is white, the other is black - how is that possible? (5 photos)

Cases of the appearance in a mixed marriage of twins with different colors skins are, though rare. But at least they can be explained: one baby adopts the genes of a white parent, and the second - an Asian or Mexican.





But it turns out that a black child can appear in Europeans, in whose families there was no admixture of other races. How is that Maybe? Exactly 29 years ago, on December 1, in the Stuart family - typical the Netherlands, a joyful and long-awaited event happened: Wilma gave birth twin boys. A woman could not get pregnant for several years, so the couple resorted to IVF.



The birth went well. One boy - Tuen looked like parents. And the second - Cohen turned out to be a typical representative of the Negroid race. With dark skin and curly curls.

Willem immediately attacked his wife with accusations. That barely recovered from childbirth, how I had to make excuses and explain to my husband that she was faithful to him. The couple went to psychologists. They connected colleagues from other areas to try to explain such a strange phenomenon.



For starters, parents and children did a DNA test. Yes, Tuen was the biological son of the couple. But the DNA of the second boy also matched. But only with another clinic client whose data was in the database. The man was from the island of Aruba - Dutch territory, residents who come to the Netherlands to work. He submitted material for IVF for my wife. And the couple had a black son. One. But how genes an outsider male ended up in an embryo for the Stuarts?

Banal human factor: the nurse just did not wash pipette and used it first to take the Aruban material, and then white man. Moreover, a similar case has already taken place in the United States. But there the children were white and no one paid attention to some differences one of them, if the mother, for other reasons, did not need make DNA.



Willem and Wilma Stewart

In the case of the Stuarts, everything was resolved successfully: in the course of trial, the involuntary donor renounced paternal rights, and Willem adopted his wife's child, who is nobody by blood.

The heroes made the story public in the press. But not for fame or of money. They perfectly understood that relatives and acquaintances could start ask questions, and then, as they grow older, Cohen may even start bullying other kids.



To avoid gossip and psychological trauma (how many was when "well-wishers" told the truth about adoption and broke life for children) they decided to dot the i's so that this question did not rise again. But still, after the story, the family moved from a small village to the capital, where people are more comfortable with things like, for example, an adopted child of another race.

It is known that when the guy grew up, the biological father expressed desire to communicate with the son. The Stuarts did not interfere. After all, loved ones there are not many people in this life. Even if they become unexpectedly and against their will and desire.
