Canary Islands - a sisterfar story:

[jrittenhouse]

Identical twin girls were born in the Canary Islands about 30 years ago, and the hospital goofed up and sent one home with another family.   BIG lawsuit (3 million euros) is in the works against the people responsible…

Some pretty interesting stuff there, Jim. Thanks for posting. By the way, there is a very good book (I have seen it only in paperback, about 20 years ago) called *The Twins who Found Each Other,* by Amram Scheinfeld. The twins had been separated because somebody had wanted to adopt only one of the two -- not financially well enough set up to adopt both. Many years later, when Tony Milasi and Roger Brooks found each other anyway, the woman deeply regretted not having been able to adopt both. The twins became very, very close (not surprising) and eventually bought a supermarket together. (Scheinfeld is reportedly a serious twin researcher; he has also written *You and Heredity * -- about 1939 -- and *The New You and Heredity,* which my parents' Unitarian fellowship had a copy of, maybe 20 years later.)
