Twins are in the news.
The Twins Foundation, a control group for the scientific and social study of similarities and differences among twins, marked its 17th anniversary last weekend. Plans are near completion for the world's annual biggest gathering of twins, Aug. 4-6 at aptly named Twinsburg, Ohio. Worldwide, the estimate is 147 million. Our family grew by two last weekend. My wife, Rachel, and I adopted twin babies, Aliandro and Rafaelina, born last March 22.
