The two kids in OP look very similar. I don’t know how you could tell the difference.

First time I heard of it was back in the 70s, 80s at the latest. A prostitute in Germany whose clients were American servicemen gave birth to twin boys, one black and one white.

People sometimes comment on cases like that, "They they're not twins!". People don't understand the concept of twins. Fraternal twins don't resemble each other, but that doesn't mean they're not twins.
Oops, should have read ahead!

My guess on this one is that boyfriend A and the wife knew about the affair their SOs were having and got together for a little tit-for-tat and got tattled on by DNA.

A more likely explanation is the mistresses boyfriend was hung like a horse and also was doing the guy's wife. What type of moron does not wash and shower Mr. Johnson before introducing it to the wifey after an extra curricular frolic? A woman can smell another woman a mile away.

So this means a woman can get prego twice in one month. What if a couple have sex every night for one month!! Could she have multiple babies or what about any time during her pregnancy? Can she become repregnant? I never heard anything like this. Just wow.

Woman gives birth to twins with different dads after cheating on husband

(metro.co.uk) A woman in China has reportedly given birth to twin boys with different fathers. Results of DNA tests meant the new mother had to admit she had cheated on her husband in a one-night stand, after initially denying she had an affair, according to Xiamen-based newspaper, Strait Herald.

Which of the two fathers got sloppy seconds?

Yep. I was agreeing with you.

What kind of amoral mind thinks to make such a loathsome comment?

To find out more about this and other really weird forms of "inheritance", read She Has Her Mother's Laugh: The Powers, Perversions, and Potential of Heredity, by Carl Zimmer. One of these involves situations where a mother becomes the genetic child of her child. It's complicated, but fascinating. Generally speaking, though, the author dissolves the old dichotomy between nurture and nature in humans and other forms of life.
