Family was gifted rare black-and-white twins then gets the same blessing 7 years later

Having a sibling comes with tons of benefits. You have an instant best friend, a partner at almost everything, someone you can tell your secrets to, and a bunch more.

You shаrе your firsts with them, create those happy and sad memories together, and unknowingly help each other grow in so many aspects of your early lives.

But everything in life becomes extra if you have a twin.

Wouldn’t you agree? Life is even more exciting if you have a twin. Someone you’ve already been with since day 1! And it doesn’t really matter if you look likе each other, what matters most is that you jive at absolutely everything.

These twin sisters can pretty much relate to this feeling. But brace yourselves because they are not the typical twins that you might have in mind.

Meet, Hayleigh and Lauren Durrant, the biracial twins!

Usually, when we talk about twins, the first thing that comes to mind is that they look alikе. At the very least, they should resemble each other’s physique, particularly their colors.

But not these twin sisters, Hayleigh and Lauren, being biracial twins, look obviously different. The kind of difference that you will see at first glance.

Lauren is white while Hayleigh is black! They’re referred to by their classmates as “milk chocolate” and “white chocolate”.

Having twins is already not common, let alone biracial!

Their parents, Dean Durrant and Alison Spooner were in total shock when the latter gave birth to the twins back in 2001.

The family soon found their way to the Guinness World Records after having another pair of biracial twins!

Back in 2009, Alison gave birth to Leah and Miya, another beautiful pair of babies from different races. Baby Miya has dad Dean’s skin color while Leah got mom’s.

The couple then was blessed with 2 pairs of biracial twins. If having biracial twins is one in a million, then just how rare are 2 pairs of it?

Despite the difference in skin color, all of them still get along so easily.

“The younger ones idolise the older ones and are always copying them. It’s likе having two Mini-Mes,” said their father.

“They are best friends and close in every way, apart from looking different. It took me some years to understand the science of how they could appear so different,” their mom added.
