Since more Koreans are waiting to have children until later in their adulthood, they are also then tackling fertility issues. So for some, while going through the process of getting IVF, they are consciously choosing to have more than one baby at a time.

The Twin-Buzz: World News about Twins and Multiples - How Can these People Not be Twins?
Can you believe they aren't Twins?
For awhile now, Francois Brunelle has been using his photography skills to document doppelgangers
Doppelgangers are people who happen to look strikingly similar, almost like twins, but who aren't related.
Many non-twins are fascinated by twin siblings and the bond that they share. Brunelle's doppelganger pairs were no exception to this fascination. Many of his pairs have been thrilled to find their "un-related" twin in life. Many even felt an instant bond with his or her familiar looking friend.
To check out more of Brunelle's images, go to:

Parents of 14 month old twins passed out notes and bags of candy to fellow airplane passengers prior to taking off with their Twins on a long flight.
What do you think of this idea? -
Do you think more parents should do something like this?
Or should fellow passengers just accept the fact that little-ones could be on their flight and those little-ones may cry, screech, squeak, giggle,...like any other little-one would?
Brilliant or unnecessary?

Twin sisters from South Carolina seem to have decided that being born on the same day
themselves just wasn't enough of a cool thing. Instead, they went and had their own
babies on the same day, just 20 years later.
The sisters, Zaakira Mitchell and Shaakira White gave birth on July 24th, 2012.
And to mix things up even more, Shaakira White gave birth to twins of her own. Two little

Multiple Births in Legend and Folklore
Multiple births have not always been considered to be a blessing. Indeed, as the following
legends show, in times past they were sometimes seen to be a sign of the mother's infidelity
or other sin, with potentially fatal consequences for the children.
Story #1 - King Aistulf
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
The following legend is told about King Aistulf, who
ruled the Langobards in the middle of
the eighth century:...

Identical Twins' Genes Are Not Identical
Twins may appear to be cut from the same cloth, but their genes reveal a different pattern
NOT-SO-IDENTICAL TWINS: They look the same but their genes may reveal some fundamental differences.Image: ©MICHAEL BLACKBURN/ISTOCKPHOTO
Identical twins are identical, right? After all, they derive from just one fertilized egg, which contains one set of genetic instructions, or genome, formed from combining the chromosomes of mother and father.
But experience shows that identical twinsare rarely completely the same. Until recently, any differences between twins had largely been attributed to environmental influences (otherwise known as "nurture"), but a recent study contradicts that belief...

By LISA BELKIN
My first daughter was only 2 when I learned I was having twins, and so I still remembered clearly how giddy people were when I was pregnant with her. They’d gleefully tell me tales of 30-hour labors, leaky bladders, struggling marriages. Not so with multiples. From the beginning, people reacted badly to the news. It was as if I had the plague and were coughing in their living room. One friend was openly angry. Some wanted to know exactly what to do to avoid this happening to them. Others just wrinkled their noses as if I’d stepped into a dog-deposited mess. “No,” they said. “Really?”...

A BRIEF HISTORY OF Multiple Births
By GILBERT CRUZ Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2009
TIME Magazine
On their 4th birthday, the fast-growing Dionne quintuplets received ice cream cones as a special treat. From left: Emilie, Annette, Marie, Cecile and Yvonne
Bettmann / Corbis
Cecile Dionne learned to say "doctor" before she did "mother." As one of the Dionne girls — the first set of quintuplets to survive infancy, born 75 years ago on May 28 — Cecile spent her first nine years under medical care in "Quintland," a hospital that essentially doubled as a government-run theme park. Born in Ontario to a pair of devout Catholics (who had, and would produce, several additional children), the Dionne quintuplets were an immediate media sensation, a Depression-era precursor to today's Octomoms and Jon and Kates. Two months premature, weighing about 2 lb. each, Cecile, Annette, Yvonne, Marie and Emilie were quickly made wards of the state by authorities, who feared that their father would exploit them for his own financial benefit. Then, in a supreme irony, the quints were set up in a hospital directly across the street from their parents' farmhouse, where tourists and passersby lined up for hours to gawk...

Nearly six months after welcoming a twin boy and girl -- their first -- Mariah Carey andNick Cannon are ready to introduce their bouncing babies to the world.
The Milky Way’s Fraternal Twin
To the casual telescopic observer, the spiral galaxy NGC 6744 in the far-southern constellation of Pavo, the Peacock, might appear as a hazy cloud roughly two-thirds the width of a full moon. Even a small backyard telescope can probably reveal a hazy oval disc with a bright center. A beefier scope might harness more of the 30-million-year-old light to reveal spiral arms draped around a bright, dusty nucleus.
NGC 6744 has long been touted as a twin to the Milky Way. The European Southern Observatory (ESO) has now added a highly detailed, face-on view that gives us an idea of what the Milky Way might look like to alien telescopes trained on our galaxy...

Twin Boys Get Kidney From Mom, Dad
Published August 03, 2010
FOXNews.com
A New York mother not only donated a kidney to one of her twin sons, but she also lost 15 pounds to do so, the New York Daily News reported.
Evette Leavy, 44, had been ruled out as a potential donor because she had gestational diabetes while she was pregnant. But the guidance counselor at Intermediate School 318 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn couldn’t bear the thought of her 14-year-old son Brian going on dialysis, so she decided to get in better shape to make herself a better candidate.
