It’s no surprise that kids often come out looking much more like one parent than the other, but bi-racial twins who end up looking like they’re different ethnicities from one another is something else entirely. Little Triniti Cunningham has more of her dad’s dark features, while her twin brother Gabe has their mom’s blond hair and blue eyes. Neat. We don’t remember how to work out the punnett squares for this possibility. Via Parentcentral.ca
Statistically, a “normal” family is no longer the nuclear family we’re so often presented with: a married mom and dad and their biological children. Now, more unmarried couples are raising kids, more single women are raising kids without a male partner, more gay and lesbian couples are raising kids, etc. etc. The New York Times wants to know what says, “family” to you.
