has anyone sent away for the DNA test and got fraternal results?

It seems like everyone gets identical results! The statistics person in me wonders if that's because it's usually more obvious when they're fraternal so you wouldn't have as many sending away for results, or no one mentions when they get fraternal restults or if the results are off balance for some other reason.

  • I bet the people who do test already have a good feeling that they are identical & just want to confirm it.

  • I still change my mind weekly on if they are frat/ID. I haven't seen any frat results since I've been on here.

    your boys are flat out adorable! I don't know if it's fond memories of DD and her soothie but for some reason anytime I see babies with those in, quietly sucking away and watching the world go by I just get the "awwwww" feeling.

  • I know of someone who did. But her boys did look a lot alike, IMO. Now, not as much.

  • Mine barely look like brothers, so I wouldn't send in for a DNA test to confirm it.  I think they'd have to look pretty alike to pay to get it done, KWIM?  Sometimes people say they're so SHOCKED that they're identical and the kids look totally alike to me (PP's boys, for example) :)

    I think I'm thinking of the same person. Adorable little boys. The last pic I remember seeing in her siggie was at around 11 months in striped, button-down shirts sitting on the ground with trees and houses behind them. Looked to be around sunset or so. I haven't seen her on here in a long time. I'd love to see an updated pic of the boys.

    You're not talking about Hamilton and Owen are you? Because they are identical. I've wondered about the fact that I've never heard of people getting fraternal results too.

  • Whoops! Guess I was mixing up sets of twins, but I do remember everyone being shocked when Pam was wrong.
