Black and white twins – one in a million


Parents in Germany are welcoming a very rare set of twins, the first baby was born is called Ryan, and he has light skin and blue eyes like his father. His brother, Leo, has dark skin with brown eyes like his mother.

“None of us could believe it,” the maternity ward’s head doctor, Birgit Weber, told one news source. “Both kids have definitely the same father.”

Ryan, has light skin and blue eyes. His brother, Leo, is dark-skinned with brown eyes.

Ryan, has light skin and blue eyes. His brother, Leo, is dark-skinned with brown eyes.

Stephan Gerth is German and white. His wife, Florence Addo-Gerth, is from Ghana and has dark skin.
It was “a real surprise,” Gerth told the German newspaper Die Welt, adding that the most important thing to him isn’t color, but that everyone is healthy.

Doctors say that the odds are one in a million to get twins with different skin color, but they have  also said it can happen due to genetic soup in our backgrounds.

The twins are in a good health condition and live in Berlin, Germany.

    Beautiful babies. The black baby opens his eyes so wide like he listening to Mom and Dad is so cute, and the white baby is sleeping like he does not care who’s talking, just wants to nap.
    So and so cute babies. Love them all.

    You are very ignorant Kotomi, to put down another race is horrible. I am also half asian but it does not mean that other people are lower than me. You are 13 and need to go educate yourself. And just because you are mixed does not mean you are “cute” it could actually mean you are hideous. ;) have a great day

    I could not agree more that your ignorance is unfortunate. It is young people such as yourself that insult all of mankind. Both of these babies are beautiful and their parents should be proud that they have two sons to parents and help grow. Kotomi, I will pray that you broaden your horizons and knowledge.
