Twin boys, 11-month-old Justin and Jordan, have different fathers.

A Texas mother of twins got the shock of her life when doctors revealed that her 11-month-old boys do not have the same father.Mia Washington decided to get some expert advice when she and her partner noticed that twins Justin and Jordan had different facial features.

Paternity tests then revealed what had happened — two eggs had been fertilized by two different sperm and there was a 99.99% chance the twins had different dads.

Doctors at the DNA lab in Dallas, Texas had never seen such a result.

Washington later admitted she had had an affair and got pregnant by two different men at the same time.

"Out of all people in America and of all people in the world, it had to happen to me, she told myfoxdfw.com. “I'm very shocked."

"It is very crazy. Most people don't believe it can happen, but it can,” Genny Thibodeaux, Clear Diagnostics President, told the news station.

When twins have two fathers, doctors call it heteropaternal superfecundation, according to myfoxdfw.com. It's so rare — there are only a handful of documented cases in the world.

It is a bit odd though, I wonder which dad she's living with now? Husband or lover? Or, is she on Welfare?

WELFARE QUEEN!

I just find the genetics of it very interesting. Think of how many women want to have children and try without success, and this woman gets pregnant with two children by two different fathers at the same time. I know it happens with animals (cats often have litters with different fathers) but I never knew it was possible with people. Very interesting.

I would imagine that in polygamous communities there would be a certain frequency of this - though obviously small in number as multiple births (that do not involve IVF treatments) are still somewhat rare on their own.

I think the person would have to have two deposits made very close to each other, like in the same night. I'm sure Mags would know more about it because she did a lot of work with genetics type stuff

Well wasn't she just a busy little bee.

I'm glad, I didn't have twins.

Nice! Looks like she lost her chances in winning the lottery. She used it up already!
