Married Twins
I just came across this article and it just really...saddened me in a way. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080112/...TJDMYuF6Ss0NUE
They really should include more information in the birth certificate regarding adoptive children, especially those separated from birth...
I know that most people who adopts kids don't even bother with the children's real parents and their identities, and that's pretty understandable, considering that they would never be a part of their lives anyway. But they really should take the time to know basic informations about the children's parents, and pass the information to their adoptive children later down the road.
Anyway, thoughts?

I was going to make a thread on this myself, after seeing it on the front cover of the newspaper.
It's really really tragic, because they must have been in love with each other and if they were married they would have obviously had sex with each other, and now they have to live with that fact for the rest of their lives, I just feel so sorry for them.
Apparently, scientists say they would have felt attracted to each other straight away because they would have noticed the similarities they share.
I think that this just shows that if you're adopting, twins must be adopted together.

Ahh, what a way to find out you are brother and sister. It is pretty sad.

Wow what are the odds that two twins would wind up together after a life-long separation?
That's so sad. No matter what, I'm sure they both feel a little bit traumatized about the situation. I know if that was me, I would be immensely depressed; not to find out that I loved my brother, but to realize that I slept with my brother...quite a shock...
And I agree that twins should be adopted together. It seems more logical.

It is sad and liek you said, the odds of that happening are crazy. The fact that theyve fallen in love and want to be together forever is so upsetting and they have to part.
But really, telling them after they get married?! Harsh as hell.

I heard this on the news the other day, and honestly, I find it hilarious. Harsh for them, yes, but hilarious for everyone else.

Oh dear, now that would be creepy.
Though why wasn't any blood work done on them before they were married? In the US I'm pretty sure you are required to get a blood test before you get married.

You do? There's no such requirement here, though it'll probably be introduced now because of this.

Huh? I don't know about that...at least I didn't get any blood test done before I got married...
But yeah, I did wonder why people won't just adopt both twins instead of just taking one and leaving the other behind. I mean, it's pretty self-explanatory that there could be a possibility of incest later down the road, no matter how small the chance is. Still, what are the odds, right?
And besides, they're twins...both sharing the same blood. They should be together growing up like brother and sisters would do! To separate them from birth is just...really, really sad. |

My friend was telling me about this on Saturday and I was like wtf are the odds on that?! I have to admit I DID find it a bit amusing
Although Id be pretty darn traumatised if I found out Id slept with my own brother & married him.
I'd have to live in the shower and scrub myself raw....
