He’s a story teller haha he needs visual aid for himself not others lol.. hence why he brought up more specifics about where they lived. Story tellers need there visual aids.
How insane must that be though to learn in one day? 1) I was switched at birth. 2) My parents aren't my birth parents 3) My faternal twin isn't my twin. 4) And he isn't biologically my brother. 5) I have an identical twin 6) I have parents and family I have never met 7) My name shouldn't even be my name. 8) I almost lived a completely different life. WOW.
The good thing about the story is that both of them thought each other was brothers but when they finally saw the real brother they all started to live together Now the bond is four strong
At the end you hear the reporters talking about the Jim and Jim twins who grew separated yet had their crazy similarities. If you think they did it for show, look into twin research. Your genetic make-up plays a crazy role in your life choices and experiences. So much so that even growing up in different environments could lead to very similar choices. Your outlook on life might be different, but you'll be surprised how similar twins who were separated at birth grow up to be.
I thought they would use say a green apple and red apple, and melon and watermelon or something, so we could distinguish between William and Wilbur etc.
The fruit really helped. There was no way I could understand what happened with both sets of identical twins by just photos of them. I needed this situation reduced to differently coloured fruit!
There are so many stories like this about babies switched at birth. It's more than a little disturbing. Either the nurses aren't paying enough attention, or this was done deliberately.
@@afrilS It could be a lot of things, maybe he just happens to look different, mom cheated, or your parents were given the wrong baby at the hospital. A DNA test would solve it. See if you can get him to unknowingly give a DNA sample and test it against your own DNA, to see if both parents are the same. If you think he'll agree, ask him to take the test with you.
That’s why when women give birth they should assign a family member to watch and follow the baby. That person should not worry about the mum, and only focus on the baby. Watch what the medical team is doing and what medication/injections they are giving the baby. Making sure the baby is not switched.
I had my identical twins in a hospital in the United States almost 21 years ago. My twins weighed nearly 6 lbs and their hospital ID bracelets and anklets kept falling off of them. The nurse brought my twins from the NICU to me and she looked at the twins who were in the same hospital baby bed thing together and said she didn't know which baby was which, and just slid the ID tags on them and guessed. And, she was wrong. I knew already how to tell them apart because of identifying markers on them. I can see how this could happen anywhere because of the bracelet ID issues I experienced when I had my own twins.
When I was born and my mom got me back after I was taken for a shower, she was convinced I'd been accidentally switched. Luckily, my dad had noticed a scratch on my toe (that I did to myself before I was born). But I think she was only fully convinced after a few years, when random people kept commenting on how I'm a carbon copy of her. We could never see it ourselves, but I've started to notice some similarities as I age.
One of them, i think Carlos, took it harder than the others, but he was reassured that he would still be loved by his brother he grew up with so gradually accepted the situation.
It happens all the time. Just wait, in 20 years or so there will some declassified government document admitting they did it on purpose to hundreds of twins and they're really sorry about it now after the fact.
Three Identical Strangers documented how this sort of research has gone on for years, and there are dozens, if not hundreds of people around the world living with the wrong family. It's terrifying. Surely, it cannot be that difficult to keep twins together, with so many 'mistakes'.
shenoir In “Three Identical Strangers”, it was absolutely an intentional separation. The three brothers were born to a single mother who gave them up for adoption. The psychiatrists running the experiment did not tell the families that the babies were actually triplets, and they requested to interview and meet with the children and videotape them as part of their experiment, but they just told the parents that they were doing research on adopted children, not twins or triplets. On a sidenote, it wasn’t mentioned in the documentary, but there were actually four boys, but one of the babies died at birth. When they found out about the experiment, they were furious. One of the adoptive parents talked about how The baby they adopted had intense separation anxiety. He would just sit in the crib and bang his head on the side. They didn’t know why he was doing it, but now they know it’s because he missed his brothers. Truly irresponsible and unforgivable treatment of these children, in the name of science..
These twins must experience total mind fu@k at first, but then they all gained extra brothers. Hope they don't think of the past and what could've been but look forward to the future and enjoy each other.
Columbia, where the doctors get their degrees and registration off corn flakes boxes. Any doctor on delivering two babies, who can not tell the difference between fraternal or identical twins, deserves to be buried under the hospital. Count the placentas you morons.
I've heard of hospitals running experiments where they separate twins at birth. But separating twins AND swapping them with another set of twins to pass as fraternal twins? This is so bizarre? And scary. Glad they all found each other
I know 3 guys who are identical triplets (4th one was still born) As adults they moved away from each other, they hadn't seen each other for about 3 years and arranged to meet up at a hotel in London, Stephen the last to arrive got a very strange look from the door man, but eager to see his brothers he didn't stop to question it. Once inside he understood the look. Not only were they all wearing the same clothes, they also had the same hairstyle and same moustache.
The hospital should be sued... for emotional distress and damages, they should not be able to get away with doing something like this...because there are protocols in place for not making a mix-up. This Hospital needs to be investigated because this is probably not the first mix-up.
umm twins or not, they can switch anyone. I believe twins are less likely to be switched though because if one baby doesn't look like its twin sibling then you'd be able to catch that. although one can never be too careful, either way because it can happen just like in this case and many others ;)
RetroGuy76 it’s not 3rd world. Do you see the technology they have and the nice clothes they are wearing? Plus there is no such thing as third world countries. There are more developed countries and less developed countries.
A'ishah Mehmood hey my son is half Italian & half Black and he popped out white as snow. I told my mom to fallow him all the way to the nursery no matter what. That was 27yrs ago and I wouldn't change a thing.❤👼❤👼
+Angela Zapata girl something happened in the hospital and twins born on the same day as me and my sister actually got switched and then when we had the DNA test when we were 8 and found my real twin.
Wish I could see pictures of them as babies. They must have looked more alike then. Their adult features are so strong, it's hard to believe they could be switched without their parents realizing.
Most babies look like aliens at birth. And even as infants it’s hard to tell if a baby takes after mom or dad until their features come in, which is more towards toddler years. Even then all that baby fat prevents us from seeing more pronounced features. Then there’s the fact that some genes skip a generation or recessive genes, which may explain the one random baby with blonde hair or blue eyes in a family with brunette hair or brown eyes. It’s kind of crazy when you think about it. Unless you conduct a DNA test early on, it can take a few years before you start to realize that baby doesn’t look like either mom or dad. And by then you’ve bonded with the child you’ve raised.
@@_Shinique Having a DNA test at birth does not prevent a switch. Most laboratories usually process the test and get the DNA result ready between 3 to 12 weeks, counting from the day they receive your sample. Meaning if a switch occurs after the sample is taken, then even when the DNA result come back positive, you're still bringing the wrong baby home.
It was to me when it came to him telling the story of how they meet. Like, namewise. They could of just let the pic with their names run while he explained how they met too.
Listen to it without seeing him use the fruit and then tell me how easy it is to follow. If someone told me that with no visuals, I would keep asking them to repeat who is who.
I mean, it wasn't that hard to follow. One set of "fraternal" twins had very English sounding names that started with W and the other had Spanish names.
@@Trini2DeBone they tell you if your kids are identical or fraternal before birth. They look nothing a like and they seem to be both identical when you put them with the correct sibling. My babies are identical, I would know if one baby wasn't mine
when I was 12 I had a sister who was just born and I remember my mum being very insistent before labour that the baby should never be left alone and my dad was to keep an eye on it at all times including when they go off to clean the baby. till this day 14 years on my mum tells me and all her 4 other girls never ever leave a newborn alone. makes sense now
I’ll be so pissed if I was born into a rich family and end up being raised poor. Hahahah Edit: I am reading these comments, and there are people stating “Happiness “ is more important... Ummm, why do people correlate money with unhappiness? Are all rich people unhappy? Lmao I wonder how many babies ended up with wrong families from this hospital
I am sssooo glad and happy they are living together! It's as if they are a group of 4 brothers now, with nearly the same birthday. They could have all been born on the same day, as well.
I feel so bad for William...he did not get to meet his mother!!!! 😭😭😭 I feel so bad for the mom for not knowing the truth!!! 💔 It's sad that millions of babies are being switched at birth!!!!
@@aleeshasarr actually it is millions of babies millions and millions of babies are being switched at birth and half of the time majority of people don't even know cuz remember a lot of babies were not kept with their mom they were quickly whisked away
Deliciousness so they were all together, both sets of twins got split up and then switched, then the other set moves closer to the other twins and a worker saw one of them that looks like her worker and then she shows him a pic and he searches on fb
I'm so happy my children stayed in the room with me the whole time. I never understood why a baby would be taken into a room away from mom and put with a bunch of other babies.
@@MK-rk4no I think he is saying that he could of believed they were brothers by blood. As when you are with people you adopt similar traits and styles sometimes. I'm assuming he is saying because of this they looked like brothers to him and they were brothers in a way of course
@@MK-rk4no Each parent(s) thought they took home a set of fraternal twins (since they obviously didnt take home twins that were identical), so the pairs of men that grew up with each other believed they were actually "fraternal twins". The commenter was saying that these sets of "fraternal twins" that grew up with each other have more similar style to each other than they do with their actual identical twins.
This is literally the plot of my favorite move ever, Big Business! Bette Midler and Lilly Tomlin portray two sets of twins born at the same time at the same hospital. One pair goes home to the poor family that lives in the city where they were born, called Jupiter Hallow. The other pair was raised with by a rich family in New York, and own a huge company that wants to bulldoze the small town from which they’re born.
So, when a mommy and a daddy love eachother very much, the daddy puts citrus fruit seeds in the mommy's belly. Sometimes, daddy puts an extra seed in there, and mommy has 2 little fruits, and sometimes one seed miraculously splits and grows into 2 citrus fruits that look exactly the same! These are both sets of twins! Sometimes people can't tell the difference between a lemon and a lime, and identical newborn lemons and identical newborn limes get all jumbled up and now you've got lemons being raised as limes and nobody can tell.
Hang on, I still don't get it. Can you explain using radishes this time? Oh, and don't go so fast. Okay, ready? Wait let me get a notepad to write this down. Alright...go. WAIT SLOW DOWN I'M CONFUSED.
As cool as this may seem (how they found out about one another) this is actually very upsetting. All those years and your family was raising someone who was supposed to be you. And all those years the identical twins were separated... I would be hurt so bad. I wonder how they felt. How could they make such a big mistake at a hospital.
I agree and it is sad that most of the comments are making fun of it by talking about the fruit etc. Identity is a huge issue with adopted kids and these men grew up with a "lie" so it will mess with their heads and sense of identity. I particularly feel for the twin who never got to meet his biological mother, that is so sad. So hope they all stay in touch as really they are all brothers now.
@@LittleB2007 They believed they were fraternal, not identical! Maybe back in the day they didn't have the equipment to verify if they were identical, same sack, or fraternal. Probably just knew they were having 2 babies.
@@LittleB2007 She's trying to say when she passed she could see how everything was and what happened, unlike us humans that are alive that don't know...so the mother brought them together...
who would you feel closer to? The brother you grew up with or the brother who shares the same blood as you? I don't have any siblings but I think I would feel closer to the sibling who I was raised with but course I'd want to learn to be close to my blood sibling.
Definitely closer to the one you lived with your whole life. But often there is a strong bond between twins, or even doppelgangers, so that could develop into a similar relationship :)
What if someone switched them on purpose to conduct a 20 years long research about the twins’ different personalities due to different environments? Basically, nature vs nurture. Mindblown.
It doesn't just happen with twins. Just more with twins. I'm the oldest and I was adopted. From oldest to youngest I have 4 other siblings with my traits. My oldest little brother and I are both ambidextrous and he's a tattoo artist and I'm a sneaker customizer. From the time I was 15 till the time I was 21 I worked in a hair salon my little sister owns her own beauty spa, when I was in highschool I played every sport they had for girls and I played varsity in every one. Softball, tennis, volleyball (not in the same years as tennis), and basketball, my next little brother down plays rugby for Guam. My baby brother almost went to Juliard for the flute and I played the saxophone. We all have something in common. So much that I can talk to each one and really understand their passions. It's amazing. I found them on my son's birthday 2 weeks before my 31st and they lived all the way across the country. Me in NC them in CA.

@@jamesalexander2775 She means it was about girls not boys
Great movie!
The lemons played an important part in explaining nothing
Ashes ash You are wrong. I understood it better coz of the lemons

Nah the ppl in these comments are just idiots
@@ShenZA6 then you are a lemon!
They all are brothers now.😊
I’d be so mad if someone took one of my limes and gave me a lemon...
Omg
Macafee 🤣🤣🤣

Wish I could see pictures of them as babies. They must have looked more alike then. Their adult features are so strong, it's hard to believe they could be switched without their parents realizing.
Most babies look like aliens at birth. And even as infants it’s hard to tell if a baby takes after mom or dad until their features come in, which is more towards toddler years. Even then all that baby fat prevents us from seeing more pronounced features. Then there’s the fact that some genes skip a generation or recessive genes, which may explain the one random baby with blonde hair or blue eyes in a family with brunette hair or brown eyes. It’s kind of crazy when you think about it. Unless you conduct a DNA test early on, it can take a few years before you start to realize that baby doesn’t look like either mom or dad. And by then you’ve bonded with the child you’ve raised.
@@SL-lz9jr I honestly think DNA tests should be done at birth, for everyone's sake.
@@_Shinique Having a DNA test at birth does not prevent a switch. Most laboratories usually process the test and get the DNA result ready between 3 to 12 weeks, counting from the day they receive your sample. Meaning if a switch occurs after the sample is taken, then even when the DNA result come back positive, you're still bringing the wrong baby home.
@@hop3106 Yeah but they can at least realize the mistake much earlier, before the babies grow up.
@@SL-lz9jr A lady I know has a daughter who looks nothing like her or her husband, but she bears a strong resemblance to the lady's mother.
5:10 she: are they bitter?
He: no they are sour.
HAHAHAHAHA - that was great! :-)
After reading through the various responses , yours actually was funny and not mean
Hilarious!😆
You bitter? Yeah, bit him too!
It’s not confusing at all. Fruit not necessary lolol
It was to me when it came to him telling the story of how they meet.
Like, namewise.
They could of just let the pic with their names run while he explained how they met too.
Listen to it without seeing him use the fruit and then tell me how easy it is to follow. If someone told me that with no visuals, I would keep asking them to repeat who is who.
@@MetalChica7 cuz you're an idiot
I really thought that explaining with fruits is an insult to a majority of population.😂
Lol
The lemons actually helped. Imagined if he just kept using their names. We’d be like “who’s William....HUH?!’
🤣🤣🤣The Lemons...!!
He could have used pictures???
I mean, it wasn't that hard to follow. One set of "fraternal" twins had very English sounding names that started with W and the other had Spanish names.
you are right. i first read article about them, and couldn't continue because of severe confusion. LOL.
The picture does break it down pretty easily
The real question is was this “switch” done on purpose? 🤔
Right like an experiment. I'd be pissed that happen to my babies
Right, I'm mad as hell and want answers and my twins are safe at home watching a movie before bed!
@@TahtahmesDiary I have triplets and I made sure I went home with all my babies 🤣
It never is. It can easily happen if the twins aren't tagged in the birthing room or the tags are taken off and accidentally switched.
@@Trini2DeBone they tell you if your kids are identical or fraternal before birth. They look nothing a like and they seem to be both identical when you put them with the correct sibling. My babies are identical, I would know if one baby wasn't mine
when I was 12 I had a sister who was just born and I remember my mum being very insistent before labour that the baby should never be left alone and my dad was to keep an eye on it at all times including when they go off to clean the baby. till this day 14 years on my mum tells me and all her 4 other girls never ever leave a newborn alone. makes sense now
The mother and the baby get a wristband once it is born. It is very little chanche for mixing in a developed country or at at decent hospital.
I’ll be so pissed if I was born into a rich family and end up being raised poor. Hahahah
Edit: I am reading these comments, and there are people stating “Happiness “ is more important... Ummm, why do people correlate money with unhappiness? Are all rich people unhappy? Lmao I wonder how many babies ended up with wrong families from this hospital
Jamiontae hudson yea but you gotta share everything and you can never have anything to yourself
Christia Napoleon but sharing makes you feel good
this sounds like something out of a old disney movie from the early 2000s 😂
I’d be more pissed if I was born into a happy family, and end up being raised unhappy.
Don't you be worried about money....
But you should be more concerned about your happiness....
It wasn't confusing at all. Why did he demonstrate it with lemons and limes? LOL
Can't it what life gives you
It was to give a visual for people who are visual learners
See, you only thought it wasn't confusing because the citrus fruits WORKED! O.O
I picked it up right from the title. Some people are amazingly slow and sluggish to understand. Why the lemons????
@@murtithinker7660 Intelligence is genetic (as well as personality). So don't blame the people who don't catch on to this as quickly as you.
I am sssooo glad and happy they are living together! It's as if they are a group of 4 brothers now, with nearly the same birthday. They could have all been born on the same day, as well.
The mom died three years before,He never got to see her😭.
And she never got to see him 😣
I can't imagine what would happened if they where apples. My mind is full of questions right now 🤔
😂🤣
Green and red apples maybe?!😜
🤣
@@VmQ2020 Yeah, okay, but what if they were oranges? It's still complicated.
@@harrynac6017 I mean, that would like change the whole thing, my mind would explode. I'm scared to even think about it
Jajajajajajja
I feel so bad for William...he did not get to meet his mother!!!! 😭😭😭 I feel so bad for the mom for not knowing the truth!!! 💔 It's sad that millions of babies are being switched at birth!!!!
Hehe ✌
Hmm, I don't know if I'd say "millions" of babies are being switched at birth.
Millions is quite an exaggeration
@@aleeshasarr actually it is millions of babies millions and millions of babies are being switched at birth and half of the time majority of people don't even know cuz remember a lot of babies were not kept with their mom they were quickly whisked away
@@FS02012 Oh for Pete's sake. Do you comb the internet for conspiracy theory ideas?
"are they bitter?" No, I'd say more like tangy or sour.
😆
Cute❤
Does nobody else think its strange that they felt they had to demonstrate this with citrus fruit?
Anyone think it's strange they had to demonstrate with citrus fruit?* Fixed.
The bitter and the sour part , yeah
people are dumb
I guess it's better than bananas and pineapples.
I think it was a nice idea... especially that we are not used to their names..
it was clear story.... till i get confuced when he started to explain with the lemons hahahaha
Deliciousness so they were all together, both sets of twins got split up and then switched, then the other set moves closer to the other twins and a worker saw one of them that looks like her worker and then she shows him a pic and he searches on fb
hahahahhahahahah ikr
lmao
Deliciousness 😂 yess
With you on that understood anchorlady then he got the lemons out! Yep threw mah weave and lost me!
He should have used broccoli and cauliflower for a better explanation
No..I don't like..broccoli!
😂😂😂
solarlola 9 😂😂
I was thinking more like an egg and beef jerky. Because the yolks on uwe.
Hahahahaha i died laughing 😂😂😂
I'm so happy my children stayed in the room with me the whole time. I never understood why a baby would be taken into a room away from mom and put with a bunch of other babies.
Never got that either.
Twins especially could be born premature and may need more specialized care
so the madness from Spanish soap operas actually happens in real life
lol
Telenovela viewers are shaking
Hahahhhaaa yooo that’s hilarious
haha
Thorin Oakenshield The stories come from somehwere. Haha
I would sue the hospital / government. Their negligence changed their lives drastically from ground zero.
exactly.
The sad thing that one mother died before knowing about it 😭
This gave a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘brother from another mother.’
What's with the lemons and limes explanation? Give your audience a little more credit for goodness sake.
they should have used apples and oranges
Andi Amador omg bernie💙💔
Andi Amador I believe they just used the simplest thing to help people follow along. I mean he couldn't even keep the names straight.
Janet Hart I hear you. They probably had to throw the story together quickly.
well, how would you hv explained it
It’s weird because the fraternal twins started to look like eachother like their head shapes and hairstyles
There were no fraternal twins.
Do you even know what a fraternal twin is?
@@MK-rk4no I think he is saying that he could of believed they were brothers by blood. As when you are with people you adopt similar traits and styles sometimes. I'm assuming he is saying because of this they looked like brothers to him and they were brothers in a way of course
I kinda thought the same things
@@MK-rk4no Each parent(s) thought they took home a set of fraternal twins (since they obviously didnt take home twins that were identical), so the pairs of men that grew up with each other believed they were actually "fraternal twins". The commenter was saying that these sets of "fraternal twins" that grew up with each other have more similar style to each other than they do with their actual identical twins.
I hear often of single babies switched but this I believe is the first I know of twins being mix matched and switched.
swampzoid You ever wo der if it was intentional ....
@@VASI_LIKI it probably was
That was cruel!
Crazy part is they ALL resemble each other. 😯
Right they all look like brothers
Yeah I thought the same thing too. They definitely look like they could be brothers irl.
@@mjallen1308 You might be racially biased on this one. They look really different from each other.

This is literally the plot of my favorite move ever, Big Business!
Bette Midler and Lilly Tomlin portray two sets of twins born at the same time at the same hospital. One pair goes home to the poor family that lives in the city where they were born, called Jupiter Hallow. The other pair was raised with by a rich family in New York, and own a huge company that wants to bulldoze the small town from which they’re born.
I remember that movie.. I’m glad you said that I have to watch it now..

I definitely wanna read this article. Very fascinating story! Glad they eventually found each other
Wow, I’m so glad he showed it with lemons and limes, I had no idea.
i can imagine the family members being like “he got your nose!” to the wrong twin-

*Dear CNN, I'm still confused. What is a twin?*

So, when a mommy and a daddy love eachother very much, the daddy puts citrus fruit seeds in the mommy's belly. Sometimes, daddy puts an extra seed in there, and mommy has 2 little fruits, and sometimes one seed miraculously splits and grows into 2 citrus fruits that look exactly the same! These are both sets of twins!
Sometimes people can't tell the difference between a lemon and a lime, and identical newborn lemons and identical newborn limes get all jumbled up and now you've got lemons being raised as limes and nobody can tell.
Its one lemon and one lime...or is it 2 limes..oh its so complicated
@M M r/whoosh
I pray that they are all well and happy with their life!
Yeah, we got it. No need for the lemons and limes.
exactly lmao

Not buying it was an accident. Involuntary twin study. Lol

Great minds think a like
It was 30 years ago now !
You mean voluntary?
Same I don’t think this was an accident.
Imagine if they had the same names and the confusion it would had caused from social media friendship circles.
The lemons 🍋 and limes were useless. Completely get it without the visual aid of citrus fruits.
I WOULD HAVE UNDERSTOOD THIS IF THEY HAD USED APPLES AND BANANAS
Lol!!!

"Are they bitter"
Well.... i mean they're lemons soooooo...
You are funny😀

Lemons are generally sour but sometimes bitter.
Big business is one of my favorite comedy moves its about two sets of identical twins that get switched at birth this is like a real life version wow.
no one:
Not a single soul:
this dude: take lemons for example
Hang on, I still don't get it. Can you explain using radishes this time? Oh, and don't go so fast. Okay, ready? Wait let me get a notepad to write this down. Alright...go. WAIT SLOW DOWN I'M CONFUSED.
Pls stahp i cant anymore 😂😂😂
Alexis Henderson Bananas would work better
I'M WHEEZING
😂😂😂
im cryiiinggggggggg
damn even the guy explaining the story looks like them.
yup he too is a citrus
impossiblegamer1 hahaha
He could be an orange
He’s their dad
more so than the identical twins who are suppose to be identical.
I thought we are going to get more of the story and then they bring out the lemon and lime.
i think we all understood this whole situation that guy didnt need to come on with the fruits to explain it AGAIN
As cool as this may seem (how they found out about one another) this is actually very upsetting. All those years and your family was raising someone who was supposed to be you. And all those years the identical twins were separated... I would be hurt so bad. I wonder how they felt. How could they make such a big mistake at a hospital.
I agree and it is sad that most of the comments are making fun of it by talking about the fruit etc.
Identity is a huge issue with adopted kids and these men grew up with a "lie" so it will mess with their heads and sense of identity.
I particularly feel for the twin who never got to meet his biological mother, that is so sad. So hope they all stay in touch as really they are all brothers now.
I would be pissed if my actual family was richer or nicer.
This was clearly intentional for psychopathic "research". Didn't you hear the story about the triplets deliberately separated at birth?
The hospital should be sued
I mean they’ve already lived the life, not much they can do but just move forward… being bitter wont change the past
I love how the 4 of them kept a light heart about the situation
Thanks God i was the only woman in the labor ward when i had my baby. No chance of mix up or switches.
The mother who passed is the angel who brought them together. 💕
🥰🥰🥰
Nice sentiment, but she's the one who never realized one of her twin sons didn't look like the other or, very probably, no one in the famliy
@@LittleB2007 They believed they were fraternal, not identical! Maybe back in the day they didn't have the equipment to verify if they were identical, same sack, or fraternal. Probably just knew they were having 2 babies.
Facts i beleave tht
@@LittleB2007 She's trying to say when she passed she could see how everything was and what happened, unlike us humans that are alive that don't know...so the mother brought them together...
who would you feel closer to? The brother you grew up with or the brother who shares the same blood as you? I don't have any siblings but I think I would feel closer to the sibling who I was raised with but course I'd want to learn to be close to my blood sibling.
yup
+Starry Night They all just acquired 2 extra brothers and more family members.
Definitely closer to the one you lived with your whole life.
But often there is a strong bond between twins, or even doppelgangers, so that could develop into a similar relationship :)
Argh ;-; sht
You can have my 11 siblings! Shoot...I'll throw in 25 nieces and nephews!
What if someone switched them on purpose to conduct a 20 years long research about the twins’ different personalities due to different environments? Basically, nature vs nurture. Mindblown.
Mimi Yes there was a study where. adoption agency seperated 3 boy triplets. They found each other years later.
But this was in Colombia. Doubt they would of had that idea back then.
Thats when parents get a 9 iron out of their golf bag and practise their swing.
@@user_mac0153 exactly. Thats bullshit to do to folks. They have to deal with all that trauma.
It doesn't just happen with twins. Just more with twins. I'm the oldest and I was adopted. From oldest to youngest I have 4 other siblings with my traits. My oldest little brother and I are both ambidextrous and he's a tattoo artist and I'm a sneaker customizer. From the time I was 15 till the time I was 21 I worked in a hair salon my little sister owns her own beauty spa, when I was in highschool I played every sport they had for girls and I played varsity in every one. Softball, tennis, volleyball (not in the same years as tennis), and basketball, my next little brother down plays rugby for Guam. My baby brother almost went to Juliard for the flute and I played the saxophone. We all have something in common. So much that I can talk to each one and really understand their passions. It's amazing. I found them on my son's birthday 2 weeks before my 31st and they lived all the way across the country. Me in NC them in CA.
