Lisa Ling is the best💕
I am so much smarter for having watched anything by Ms. Ling. Finally a journalist I trust
Same here. She's one beautiful intelligent lady.
It's beautiful to see Lisa found her path in journalism.
Finally??? Im 44 years old. Ive trusted this woman since I was 12. We need more journalist like her and her sister.
Lisa Ling does such compelling stories. Outstanding journalism.
I’m a fraternal twin to a boy I can’t describe the bond it’s like having a soulmate friends they forget about us fraternal ones lol
I have fraternal boy and girl
Fraternal and identical very different
Yeah, because fraternal twins only share a womb and birthday and that is practically it. LOL. We're just siblings that are the same age.🥴
there's a HUGE difference between fraternal twins and identical twins. You shared a womb, thats it! You are not identical beings from
the same cell. 💯 HUGE difference.
We do seem to forget because it's not as interesting, seeing a mirroring image of two people is so interesting! I'm glad you enjoy being a twin though nevertheless. I'm an only child and it has its benefits but I've always wanted to be a twin! ❤
Some of those twins are codependent. You cannot stop living for your twin.
I so agree. With some it's just not healthy.
@@pegihaider813 Exactly. Those two girls, that talk in unison, are annoying as hell. Sounds, like their parents encouraged their co-dependence.
My dad and his twin both had the same job and both had a big boat and both had 3boys and 1girl in the same order. They both had their desk in the family tv room, big black rolling chair. My Dad was always like 20 pounds lighter but they really did look the same. 😂
TWINNING 🥰
Jim and Ed are breaking my heart. Im not a twin, but i lost my brother 2 years ago and i could not even imagine
I lost my sister several years ago, but it still hurts every day. I think about her all the time. She was older than me, but she died when she was just 53 due to a mistake in surgery. I don't think I will ever stop missing her.
You should do a documentary on twins that one have passed away
I’ve always wanted identical twins or identical twin grandkids but never got either. I think there’s something so special about them.
I'm adopted, and I always had a fantasy that I had a twin somewhere. I found my biological mother. I have two half younger brothers. Neither is anything like me.
I just looked up the twins Ed and Jim. Jim passed Christmas, one month after this original air date.
Sad….
💔
I was wondering if he was still alive. That’s sad. Thanks for the update.
Thank you for the update.
That's so sad. I lost my older sister. It still hurts years later. I can only imagine what it would be like to lose a twin. I went to school with identical twins. One passed away a couple of years ago. I'm sure it's really hard for his brother.
1 of every 250 births! Wow I had no idea identical twins were so common. I’ve probably met more twins than I realized.
When I was growing up in a small town we had a set of boy identical twins and girl identical twins in each grade 9, 10, 11, and 12th grade. It was pretty cool. Of course it made our little local newspaper!
That’s not common to me
My boys are identical and do everything identical down to the college graduation. Both are nurses and maintain the same grades and work ethic.
My mom had two sets back to back. I looked at our family tree and there are so many twins in my family!
Lisa Ling always has interesting documentaries….
I'm 10 minutes younger than my identical twin. I was the leader.She made bad choices. We were bunched together as one. It was hard for me to chase after her through all the bad times. I had to detach to cope.
Wow that's really intense... 😢
🫂Hug
🫂❤️
And that’s ok. 🩷
I have non-identical twin brothers and twin sons (my mom passed me on the fraternal gene) and no words can describe how special it is to witness the twin bond - it is something only twins will understand.
Non identical is just the woman producing 2 eggs, don't think it's a gene
@@theirishcailin333It's a tendency to have more than 1 egg develop at a time
This is so wholesome. Being twins seems like you have an extra everything in life, they are lucky to have a soul connection. I looooove Lisa Ling she does important journalism and research every time. Jason and Scott definitely look like the belong in Big Bang Theory, the girls are gorgeous. Ugh I couldn't imagine someone taking one of my babies..
My twins were never separated. They both did soccer together study together went into nursing school together and our hard-core gym enthusiast together.
Oh! My girls were a minute apart and the first out always proudly said she was the oldest.
That’s so sad about Linda and Doreen. Thank goodness they were reunited but still so many lies and so many years lost
I was curious if the kidnapper was ever prosecuted? Those that helped her?

I think it would be awesome to have a twin!!!💞🙌🏻
No way. Thank gawd I'm not a twin.
It's awesome having an identical twin. She's my bestie...
Me to
Thank you for sharing these insightful stories! I enjoy learning new things!
Absolutely fascinating
I can't wait to watch your videos! I've become hooked over the last few months. I hope Springtime gets there for you soon. 😊
I love Lisa’s shows
I absolutely loved watching this. How special
To be honest..I know about four sets of identical twins and only one set acts like this. All the others just look alike, but they are two totally different people who live there own individual lives.🤷 However, I think having a twin would be awesome❤
Jason and Scott look like a younger Jim parsons from the Big Bang theory!
They look old as hell, for just twenty-seven years old.
I, thought the same
I'm not a twin, I'm not even close with my siblings, but I loved this story.
I’m an only child but I also loved this story!
Thank You
Twinsburg born and raised haha ! Didn't realize how crazy it kind of is actually.
Good film
Love her stories
So glad your sister got away in the end
I liked this!
Lisa Ling is truly second none as journalist go, perfect personality and very easy on the eyes to boot :) !!!
i have twins, girls age 12, they are soul friends.. they are so diffrent, but toghter they are united as one and are complete and become one.
Did they have a “special” language when they were younger? I had a friend that had twin boys and when they were little and learning how to talk they also had this weird language they used when talking to each other. They knew exactly what the other one was saying but no one else did. There were a handful of words that the parents figured out what they meant. I remember nat-nat was what they called each other. It was like listening to little aliens 😂
@@raimeyewens7518 yes they did actually 😂 it was strange to watch them have conversations, I remember 😂 good memories
My identical twins are 33 an they are close but never like this 😂😂😂
Beautiful souls ❤
Yet so different!
Notice?? Theres always a bigger one?
Jim: The twin with cancer has a strong will to survive; GOOD FOR JIM! KEEP FIGHTING JIM!👍🏾🕍🕌⛪️
Jason and Scott could definitely be Sheldon Cooper sons from the big Bang theory 😀 wow!! I wish I was a twin!! I think its so awesome!! You have a best friend for life 😊😊
I thought the same
This is So Real. Surreal. Unbelievable. This Is So Great. I Love It... This Is Great of Identical Twins and Faternal Twins Lives!!!. Is Great. I Love It... This Story of Twins...❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊
Love this story so interesting but the background music was so loud and distracting.
To be identical tween is not easy. I’d to have seen in this episode the other side. You only showed the romantic side of being a tween.
Is it just me, or does Jason and Scott remind you of Seldon from The Big Bang Theory 🤔
i know a set of identical twins. one of them got cancer and it was advised that the other twin get checked. turned out the other twin had cancer in the same exact spot but it wasn't as developed.
Could you ever do follow ups ? I know you’re an amazing mother yourself.
Twins are really special .there's no such thing as siblings rivalry 😊❤
That's not true, some two s have tried to kill each other.
@@brandyyolidio4213 reference?
I would imagine being a twin could either make sibling rivalry either better or worse. On one hand, twins' connection to each other may make them root for their twin's success (more than a non-twin sibling), not only because of their relationship, but because the successes/failures of one twin are more likely to be FELT by the other twin. On the other hand, a lot of us know what it feels like to be compared to a sibling, but imagine the comparisons that would be made between twins. You're genetically supposed to be identical, which would make any deficit even more apparent. If people are searching for the differences between the twins, or ways to tell them apart, imagine dealing with those determinations. ("She's the NICE twin", "He's the OVERWEIGHT twin", "She's the successful twin", "His twin never did drugs like him, you should see how good HE looks", etc. etc.)
There were even a set of twins in the nineties that dealt with this. The Han twins, I believe. One felt overshadowed by the other, she felt like the "bad twin", so she tried to have her sister killed so she could take her place and get a fresh start.
@@user-pq2nv7lt8nJeena Han is one of the most notorious cases. Allison and Ann Dadow is another. Robert Cerqua is another. I can go on. There was a whole episode of a documentary style show in the U.S that covered the topic of how serious twin revelry’s are.
@@user-pq2nv7lt8n my twin and I fought constantly as children. This could have been due to financial struggles and living arrangments though.
I've always wanted twins! My dad remarried and had twins when i had my first baby 😂
I was blessed by a set of twin girls and they were my rainbow babies i cant wait to see and hold my girls and my son along with grandkids, who i've been blessed with so many of them lots of twins and set of quads and three sets of triples
Same life energy.
You would think the A twin would be with the B twin because not only does opposites attract but the A (Alpha) personality works better with the B (Beta) personality.
Any updates on the twins now? How is Jim the man with cancer?.those brothers are wonderful people
Yall did not include one ethnic pair smh
There are no twins in my family but I really would love to have a set of identical twins ❤
Then your chances are low.. if no one in your family has ever had twins, the likelyhood for that to happen without someone with twins in their extended family joins the picture, is really small to nothing.
@@ingridakerblom7577fraternal yes, identical no. Fraternal runs in families.
I don’t know if I ever wanted to be a twin. I know I wanted twins, but if I was one, I guess it’ll be all right.
Did Chelsea and Bailey ever get more involved with Jason and Scott respectively? What became of all of them?
My granddaughter (HayDn) was an identical twin but her twin passed away at 22 weeks gestation due to twin to twin transfusion. Have you studied identical’s who lost a twin? Just wondering.
The parents of Chelsea and Bailey are right. Nowadays it is so important for a connection with another.
Kept waiting for the, to me, obvious question: since they are identical twins, why did Jim get leukemia while Ed did not?
Interesting question…and does the surviving twin then get monitored more closely?
My twins are inseparable. But yet they both went into the medical field into different fields of nursing. They did soccer together, baseball together college together, and are both very different in there nursing interests.
💙🙏💙
I am a twin myself, but we are fraternal twins.
I wish I was a twin to go to the pool party! Everyone seems so sweet.
Absolutely twins, especially identical, seem to follow the same footsteps
What year was this filmed? The 35 year old twins were born in 1958, but this looks like the early 2000's? 😮
It's pretty cool but also a little weird.
How about fraternal twins. Me my twin are very close and I had a set of twins and my mother had two sets of twins and my brother had a set of twins but they're all fraternal.
Got to be real careful on when doctors tell you when you're going to die. They often do not know,, ar all. Speaking from personal experience.
💯
My beautiful mom had two sets of fraternal 3 boys. 1 GIRL i wasnt spoil not at all. I am one of the fratenal twin with my brother.
What happened if one die?
Cloning now wont seem so strange🙂
Twins dating twins based on birth order is strange
I am 42 yr old twin.
Wonder what happened to the lady , who kidnapped the baby??? How sad.
She died. It was briefly mentioned near the end.
I’m going to be 50 next year. There’s no way Marlene and Darlene are 50. I’ve been told I look 30 but they look waaay older than I do.
Iidentical twins share the exact same dna…I’m not surprised they have close bonds. They’re pretty much the same person who are living a different experience. It’s kinda like being in another dimension where your life is similar but not the exact same.
So codependent.....very sad, but if it works for you, that's cool. They probably think the same about single birth peeps❤
Ehhh I like being my own person. I don’t want to share a personality.
Probably because you’ve never experienced the soulmate of having a twin
The nut outfits made me laugh..they are great sisters
I graduated with 6 sets of twins. Something must have been in the water lol
Or in the air…..like feet lol
@@ghhm2705 good one! 😂
I have 20yr old fratenal twin girls they are inseparable. My husband is also a fratenal twin with a guy they've always act like siblings.
I have fraternal twin girls (age 3). I hope they are close. I want them to be individuals but I want them to be close too.
Has there ever been identical twins with different sexualities?
Yes. I was watching some TH-cam video where there were 2 identical twin females. One is now a dude.
@@raimeyewens7518 That's gender identity, not sexuality.
I was wondering the same about political views…..when they have different upbringings
I know two sets of mirror-image identical male twins. In both sets, one is straight and one is gay.
I know a set of identical twin men. One is gay & one straight.

My dad has a twin sister. She had twins but he did not! I think maybe my daughter will have twins as it can skip a generation I think.
It hasn’t skipped generations in our family…twins in each of the last 4 generations and counting…
The twins who drove to the festival together will die together since neither is smart enough to wear seat belts!
WOW!!!
You just sound like a bundle of joy, NOT,
How in the hell do you watch such a cool happy video and be so negative?!?!?
There is always at least one person in the comment section like you , yuck
My father’s sister had three sets of fraternal twins boy and girl each time
your father's siSter is called your AUNT
@@shellz831 So is her mother's sister. She was being specific by narrowing it down.
@@crazymouselady my Aunt have three sets of fraternal twin, boy and girl each time. I can get y'all BARELY made it through high school. The top is TWIN, its irrelevant which side of the family produce them.
@@shellz831 I can call her however I want 🧐🙄🙄😵💫
50?? For real?
For the town man that has cancer- his sons plasma will help
I wonder if Doreen’s “mother” was ever prosecuted for the kidnapping? Also, I wonder why she only babysat one of the twins? That seems strange to me.
First comment
Would. Like to study of only children. ❤❤❤❤
Has much researc been done on triplets, I am wondering? Cause they can be created without tertility drugs
Check out the documentary Three Identical Strangers.
Second
Am I the only one who finds the "saying the same thing" to be forced, and quite irksome. Seems a bit unhealthy to me.
lol if I wanted to I could talk at the same time as any of my friends , I mean the sentences are so predictable lol it’s just annoying and it seems forced
Third 😂
Jim with leukaemia, this message is for you, look into the medical Medium Anthony William, I have healed so much through food with his protocols. Wishing you the best. ❤
He has passed. This show was several years ago.
@@ghhm2705 thanks for telling me, I’m so sorry to hear that, what a nice soul. ❤️
