My children arent twins.. My son Calvin is mine from a previous marriage.. My daughter Teegan is actually my boyfriends daughter.. Teegan and Calvin are 19 days apart.. Both in March... Shes technically not mine, were not married, but we have been together since both our kids were 11 months old.. So I may have no birthed her but Ive raised her since she was 11 months old.. Shes mine!!
