A U.S. mother gave birth to twin sons who look like they are from two different races.

Leaetta Harris, 29, said she has been made to explain that both of her sons actually have the same father. She added that her own family members often joke about who the babies’ real parents are.

The parents are both biracial and that would mean that the babies, Makai and Ellion, could have inherited a variety of characteristics.

Makai has darker skin, curly black hair and dark eyes, whereas Ellion has blonder hair, lighter skin and lighter eyes.

Harris is of Caucasian and African-American heritage, and her 35-year-old husband Lamba Crane was born in Gabon to an African mother and an African-American dad.

The twins were born in Vermont in 2020. Needless to say, both the parents had quite the surprise when the babies arrived.

Leaetta said: “We think our kids are very rare. We have never seen twins like the boys before, only online. The two or three stories we did read about had different parent combinations than us though. All other twins with different skin colors come from either a full white or black parent or one mixed and one full black parent. Makai and Ellion are dichorionic diamniotic twins, which means that although they shared a womb, they both had their own amniotic sacs and placenta. They were born via C-section just four minutes apart.”

She also said: “They are two totally different people with their own personalities. Makai is more outspoken and emotional while Ellion is more laid back and independent.”
