Spouses Karen and James Marks gave birth to twins. You will think that there is nothing unusual.
But you should not be hasty in drawing conclusions.
It turned out that between the twins there is a difference of two years. But how did this happen?
The couple from Taunton, a town in England, had their first child, a son, two years ago and recently, the woman gave birth to their second child, a daughter.
The woman still did not get pregnant because she had fertility problems and the couple thought they would never be able to become parents.
So, they turned to medicine for in vitro fertilization. After a few tests, they obtained five viable embryos.
In 2018 their son Cameron was born and just after two years, in 2020, their daughter Isabella came into the world.
Since the embryos were implanted two years apart, one could believe that Cameron was their eldest child.
But in fact, the brother and sister are considered genetic twins, because along with the other three embryos, they were conceived at the same time.
“We are very happy, after so many tries we have two children and both healthy.
It’s beautiful,” say the lucky parents.
Cameron adores his twin sister, the boy takes her in his arms and cuddles her.
Karen and James think Isabella may not be their last child because they still have other frozen embryos left.
