What lovely little fellows.  One quibble - their mom is not African American, as she is from Ghana.  She is Black.

Beautiful kids.  I know a set of twins (Caucasian parents) in which one boy looks just like dad - olive skin, dark brown eyes, dark hair and the other looks like mom - very fair skin, light blond hair, blue eyes.  Most people are surprised to learn that they are brothers, let alone twins.  Terrierhead - shouldn't she just be called Ghanian?  Or African?

She is West African, per the show. Geography is more correct than skin color. And yes, I did just realize what a jerk I am for that sentence - can't find a better way to say it nicely.

terrierhead is right.  She is either African, black African, or german-african if she is first generation immigrant. African-americans are the descendants of africans born in america or immigrated to america. YOur best bet is to say she is black and from Ghana.  I knwo lots of Jamaicans who hate being called african-american.  

Those little twinnies remind me of my twin boys when they were born.  I watched the video and just sighed with the memories.

My husband and I are both bi-racial. He is half Puerto Rican and half German, and also a fraternal twin. He was born with blond hair and blue eyes (like his mother), and his brother had darker hair and eyes, and darker skin. My husband's hair darkened as he got older, though. It's light brown now and his eyes are hazel. We couldn't wait to see what our daughter would look like, because she really could have ended up anywhere on the spectrum. She's very fair, but has brown curly hair like me, and grey eyes that never changed! The next baby could be completely different. Very exciting stuff.

Wow, are they cute! As they grow up, I wonder if their differences are going to make things fun for them, or if they'll start to get annoyed with the questions from strangers (probably depending on which parent they're with).

Its not fair for them to call the lighter skinned baby "white" the baby looks mixed. It does not look fully "white". They are exaggerating. The lighter baby is what most of us look like when we're mixed with Black and White.

This is AMAZING!

The Children are beautiful. Perhaps becuause they are twins it is surprising. However, in my family of six children.

born to Jamaican parents with what one might call a chocolate complexion. We are all different shades of brown.

My cousins daughter has very fair skin, what some might call white however her parents are both black with dark skin. This is nothing special in black families.

Totally adorable!

Terrierhead is totally right though, even if you want to refer to the mom in geographical terms and not those of "color," she can't possibly be African-AMERICAN if she came directly from Ghana to Germany.
