twins

Lucy and Maria Aylmer are twins sisters….Yup… They may not look anything alike but they are twins, with the same mother and the same father. They were born in January 1987, to their mother Donna who is half Jamaican and their father Vince who is White.

“It was such a shock for her because obviously things like skin colour don’t show up on scans before birth,” she said. “So she had no idea that we were so different. When the midwife handed us both to her she was just speechless.” The teenager said their friends had even made them produce their birth certificates to prove they are related.

The two sisters are in college and studying at different schools. Even though they may not look anything alike the two have a very strong bond. Lucy said “Maria loves telling people at college that she has a white twin – and I’m very proud of having a black twin.”
