Mom Gives Birth To Beautiful Twins Only To Notice That One Of Her Babies Doesn’t Look OK!

mom gives birth to twins only to notice that one of them doesn't look right the future is truly in the hands of our children babies born today have the power to shape tomorrow but that change doesn't happen overnight one mother though believed her twin girls would change the world the day they were born you might think her judgment was somewhat clouded by motherly pride but she knew the moment she looked into their eyes they were different now she wants the entire world to see her children and hear their story while we all want our kids to have an impact on the world around them let's face it it's a big planet a baby's more likely to change his or her own diaper before they change the world still whitney meyer of quincy illinois had reason to have high hopes for her children when he was just 17 when she gave birth to her first son talent in 2009 three years later pravin was born she dedicated herself to her new family but tragedy soon struck them in 2014 praven accidentally drowned in the babysitter's pool and whitney was distraught when she learned that she was pregnant with twins a year later however she knew she needed to remain strong and happy for her family whitney's pregnancy with twin girls helped her overcome her heartbreak while they could never replace pravin the twins brought some hope to the grieving mother and they also represented something else something potentially world changing on april 23 2016 whitney gave birth to twins colonia gerani and she and her boyfriend thomas dean noticed two things first gerani looked exactly like her brother did they're identical when i look at pictures of jay whitney told us weekly micey pravitt that wasn't the only surprise though while gerani clearly inherited thomas darker features kalani was born with a mother's like complexion and blue eyes thomas and whitney were totally surprised by what they saw it was incredibly rare for twins to be born this way the difference in skin color between fraternal twins is rare about one in every 500 pairs of twins produced by parents of different races can expect different skin colors this phenomenon is quite unusual when you flip a coin eight times sometimes it's gonna be heads all eight times said medical geneticist dr bryce mendelssohn and it's kinda like that when you have a bunch of jeans unsurprisingly whitney and thomas had lots of questions i asked the doctor why kalani's skin was so white whitney admitted i couldn't figure out why she looked so different from her sister at first she thought kalani might be albino and thomas echoed her confusion how did he produce a blue-eyed baby thomas told today i was like yeah she's a little light but i thought maybe babies are that way when they're first born but then her sister came out a little darker in a million years i never thought i'd have a girl with blue eyes and they weren't the only ones who were shocked when whitney brought her babies outside no one believed they were twins when we go out in public she said people start looking at them because i dressed them identical and i can tell they're confused everyone's confusion actually provoked a response from whitney's oldest child talent it was this response that whitney hoped would inspire the world and change it for the better when he had broadly twins to the doctor's office likely for a standard checkup along with talon then the doctor made an observation oh they're twins according to whitney the doctor remarked ones darker than the other so talon spoke up after the doctor's comments the eight-year-old boy said well we don't worry about color in our family the response warned whitney's heart he doesn't see any difference in the girls she said proudly whitney wants talon's perspective to transcend her family people in this country could learn a lot from my son she said he's so innocent he doesn't understand racial tensions because to him it doesn't matter as it shouldn't matter to anyone else can two twin babies really make that big of an impact on the world though you can't look at one and not love them both whitney told today they're the same girl just different colors and that was something both parents felt the world should know whitney and thomas felt they had a responsibility to share their children with the world we felt we were given these two beautiful children for a positive purpose to initiate conversation on race in america whitney said to today but did it work in trying to raise awareness about racial similarities whitney shared pictures of kalani and gerani online you get some people who'll say some bad stuff she said but mostly everybody loves their uniqueness i hope i can bring different people together despite their different personalities kalani was energetic and while while gerani just wanted to snuggle whitney preached the idea of togetherness perhaps nothing demonstrated that message better than the twins first birthday cake the girls's cake was elaborate and beautiful a splendid castle topped with two princess figurines like kalani and gerani the princesses had two different complexions the twins were all smiles all day those smiles said everything whitney wanted i just really wanted to let people know that there's nothing but love in this family she said and one look at their family photo made that apparent you
