Hannah Yarker, 20, gave birth to twin girls who have different skin
tones. One of the girl's inherited her mum's fair complexion, while the
other took after her dad who is mixed race. Hannah says her black and
white daughters now turn heads whenever she takes them out. She
constantly has to explain that the 10 month old girls are hers and that
they are in fact twins as it is a rare occurrence, said to have a
million to one chance of happening.
She spoke on the attention they got and how happy she is to have one of each, she said:
"Kyle is mixed-race and I'm white, so from the word go, our friends
joked: 'What would you do if one came out dark and the other was
fair?' Laughing it off, I replied 'I don't think it's very likely!' Now
our girls turn heads wherever they go and it is not just because they
are so cute",
"I can't walk down the aisle at the supermarket without getting stopped.
People always comment, 'Are they both yours?', 'are they sisters',
'are they related? As well as looking different Anaya and Myla are
already developing their own personalities". Myla is always on the move,
she's already crawling, although backwards, while Anaya's more laid
back",
"We can't believe they're twins, they've got the same birthday and the
same mum and dad but they're just complete opposites in every way."
She added:
"At first, both the girls had a purple tone to their skin, but they
looked darker so I assumed they'd both taken after Kyle. But after two
weeks, it was clear Myla takes after her dad with dark skin, brown
eyes and brunette locks, while Anaya is more of a mummy's girl with a
pale complexion, fair hair and light eyes. We couldn't believe it. Kyle
and I told all of our relatives and friends, 'We've got one of each.
