It’s a color-coded family system when it comes to the children of Sharon Harris and Sonia Brown. Sharon, 35, and Sonia, 40, are sisters of mixed racial descent. The fathers of their children are both white. The children are a combination of races. Sharon has two daughters, nine and seven. One is white and one is black, coloration-wise. Sonia has two twin boys, age five. One is white and one is black. The two sisters have a child of a different race, despite both kids having the same fathers!
Malcolm Holloway, father of Sharon’s children, is white. Phillip Bradley, the father of Sonia’s twins, is also white. One child takes after the mother’s color, and the other child takes after the father’s color. Said Sonia of her twins’ births, “Cameron came out first, and then the next thing we saw was a little pair of white legs and a white bottom. I just thought, ‘What’s happened?’ The doctors said it was very unusual, but that it does happen. People don’t realise they are twins at first, and although they are not identical, once I tell people they are twins they do see the similarities. They are very bubbly, lively and so energetic.”
They’re far from identical, but apparently the genetic division is more common than I thought among multi-racial families. Still, it’s pretty unusual circumstances, but if the family unit is functional, then good for them!
