I learned a new term today...
Heteropaternal Superfecundation: when a woman gives birth to babies that have different fathers.
2 eggs fertilized by 2 different dudes. Rare but possible, as it turns out.
Case in point...
Mia Washington's sons arrived seven minutes apart. But after a few months her boyfriend thought the boys had very different facial features.
Tests were done and doctors concluded "an overwhelming 99.999% chance" the twins were born to different fathers.
Strike that, they're not twins but rather half-brothers.
Since the discovery, Mia Washington admitted her infidelity to her boyfriend and father to one of the boys. He's forgiven her and has vowed to stay with Mia and raise both boys. Ms. Washington, meanwhile, plans to tell the boys about their genetic differences when they're older. She has no plans however to tell the other father.
I guess she figured once the story gets on the nightly news and spreads to the web, he'll figure it out himself. In which case our next post about this may be entitled "Heteropaternal Superfecundation Lawsuit."
I can also guarantee that this subject will be featured next season on one of those pseudo-medical TV shows - Greys Anatomy, Private Practice, etc.

Man, I feel for that dude. What do you do there?
Run.
Damn. That would've made the best episode of Maury Povich EVER.
Can't run away from your little boy.
I think I'd become buds with the other dude and we could sue for custody of the kids after we made sure the hosemonster got hooked on drugs.
Then ,I'd run.
"Are you my Daddy?"
Mia and I are working through this. I insisted on the paternity test and was pretty shocked at the result. Relationships are hard. Whether I can see both boys as my sons remains to be seen. I'm trying.
Love is blindness...
(The best part of this story is that Mia is not going to tell the other dad. Nothing assures a secret stays safe like telling it to reporters. Can't see any way this doesn't work.)
Infidelity I'm fine with, it's the unprotected sex with multiple partners that would have me shakin' the shit outta her.
Proof of why you should only sleep with brothers...and then tell the wealthier one that he's the daddy.
There was a woman who slept with twin brothers on the rodeo circuit...she got pregnant and they were having a hard time figuring out which one is really the daddy...
I've heard of this happening a couple of times to different prostitutes. It really sucks for the dude in the relationship with her.
Grey's Anatomy would be behind the curve on that story. It's been done at least twice already, on daytime soaps. Guiding Light and One Life To Live.
"My girlfriend watches them, I swear!"
@Chris, yes my girlfriend forces me to keep up to date on guiding light, young + the restless and bold and the beautiful. I really hate those shows.
@Meyer, I agree, I have no problem with sluts, but cum loving whores are another story.
