DALLAS – Like most twins, 11-month-old Justin and Jordan have a lot in common. But it’s what they do not have in common that has a lot of people, including their parents, calling them a miracle of science.
“I have twins, but they’re by different fathers,” said Mia Washington.
The twins’ parents contacted FOX 4, wanting to go public with their story. Washington admits she had an affair that resulted in two babies, born at the same time, fathered by two different men.
“Out of all people in America and of all people in the world, it had to happen to me. I’m very shocked,” Washington said.
The parents went to Dallas DNA Lab Clear Diagnostics after noticing the twins have different facial features.
According to the paternity test, there’s a 99.999 percent chance Justin and Jordan do not have the same father, and zero percent chance they do. The lab has never seen this type of result, nor do they expect to see it again.
“It is very crazy. Most people don’t believe it can happen, but it can,” said Clear Diagnostics President Genny Thibodeaux.
When twins have two fathers, doctors call it heteropaternal superfecundation. It’s so rare; there are only a handful of documented cases in the world.
“This is likely to be the only time that we will ever see this occur in the city of Dallas; it’s that rare,” said Dr. Chris Dreiling, who has not met the family.
Dreiling said the medical marvel can happen when a woman releases multiple eggs during ovulation. If she has more than one sexual partner within the same time period, sperm cells can fertilize two separate eggs.
The twins’ father said he’s forgiven his fiancé’s infidelity and has vowed to stay with her and raise both boys as his own.
“It’s a day by day thing. It’s going to take time to build that trust like we had,” James Harrison said.
Washington admits her mistake, and wants people to know she takes full responsibility for her actions.
“I’m trying to let everybody else know: Don’t put yourself in my shoes, because it can hurt and it does hurt, but you still have to go on with life,” she said.
Washington said she plans to tell the boys about their DNA differences when they’re old enough to understand. As for the other father, she has no plans to tell him.

Is there any doubt tax payers will be raising these kids? I am not saying the poor are sluts, just that only the poor would feel a need to go public with it. Anyone with crap to risk would keep this buried.
2 biracial parents has twins...one black, one white.
Yeah I seen that a few months ago, I thought that was freaky also but at least they were by the same man. Weird though when these kids go to school one gonna be white and ones gonna be black so therefore people are gonna think they are lying when they say they are full blood kin.
you know how else you can figure they are poor... the girl had sex with the first dude without a condom, then the second guy without a condom in the 24 hour time span... give this girl a darwin award
