ASHTABULA — Grandmother Jenyne Wallace says her twin grandsons — one black, the other white — look different because of genetics.
“We have light and dark people in my family,” she said.
The twins’ mother, Danyelle Wallace, 23, of Ashtabula, said they noticed the boys’ different complexions right away.
“On the day they were born, when we took their hats off for the first time,” Danyelle said. “The nurses pointed out Jeremiah’s curly blondish hair and Elijah’s curl dark hair.”
The twins have gotten even more attention since Fox 8 shared their story last week.
The six-month-old boys are fraternal twins, which means each came from a separate fertilized egg. Another factor in their appearance could be that they were born to a black mother and a biracial father, Danyelle said.
Danyelle and her boyfriend, Trey Turner, named the babies Jeremiah and Elijah after God’s prophets. She praised Turner’s baby skills and commitment to his fatherly duties, especially the first couple of months.
“It was rough in the beginning from lack of sleep and constant diapering,” Danyelle said. “Now it’s fun.”
Turner said he loves to play with the twins and care for them.
“I am glad we had two boys,” he said.
Jeremiah and Elijah are happy, fun babies, Danyelle said.
“They love their toys, story books and cuddles,” she said.
Just like their complexions, the boys have their personality differences.
Jeremiah likes to sit, observe his surroundings and play with his toys.
Elijah likes to roll around to his destinations.
“We love having twins and the twins love having each other,” Wallace said.

A young man that worked for me had a baby with a loose woman. His baby was born with a fraternal brother who was fertilized by a different man. She had been with both men the same day and had ovulated two eggs.
Same here...
Likewise.
There’s not much of a difference. Not sure why it’s a news story.
maybe proof that in the genetic history of at least one parent, there was a white European slave in the family, probably female.
Trey Turner’s first fatherly skill should to be to marry the boy’s mother and commit to his family.
Apparently he doesn’t consider her good enough for him to marry.
Could be.
News items being judged critically means applying reasoning skills. Gratuitous moral defamation or insinuations of indecent behavior against persons you do not know, on the basis of no evidence whatsoever, does not qualify as a reasoning skill.
Or perhaps you think evidence as a prerequisite for serious accusations against strangers, is just too much to expect?
