Mixed-race Couple has Black and White Twins
It's a New Year's celebration for a British couple, after their second miracle in seven years - a second set of fraternal twins.

A British mixed race couple have become parents to a set of black and white twin girls for a second time.

Defying the odds, Dean Durrant, who is black, and Alison Spooner, who is white, first welcomed daughters Lauren and Hayleigh in 2001.

The couple were surprised to find that their second set of twins were also born with different colored skin.

Miya has her father's black skin and Leah is white like her mother.

A doctor said the probability of having two sets of different colored twins was "one in millions".

The family is all home now... Looking forward to a happy healthy new year times two.

Must someone always wave their ignorance around on these message boards? And why does WCTV allow it anyway? I'm all for first amendment rights but one and two word disparaging responses from some bonehead afraid of race mixing are ludicrous. Nevermind that this is an interesting event that happened twice and thank God the children are healthy. And if you can't say something nice-- well, you know the rest.
