I am the birth mother of twin girls, born in November 2001. I would recommend that you ALWAYS place twins together!! You will have no problem finding adoptive parents that would be thrilled to take both babies---imagine hoping and praying for a baby, and then getting TWO out of the deal. Also, research shows that twin infants do much better when each other's presence (esp. if they sleep together). And I cannot imagine the psychological damage done when twins learn later that they are a twinless twin.

If you would like to discuss this with me, since I've been through placing twins, you may e-mail at me at hippiechick1976@hotmail.com. I'd be glad to "chat."

As a potential, pregnant bmom, the ball is in your court. But after the adoption, the ball is in the adoptive parent's court. So be as choosy as you want to when selecting parents for your babies. Don't settle for less.

I'd recommend placing twins in a two-parent family, as twins are much more work than "just" one baby.

TOGETHER!

I'm not usually into shouting on message boards, but this is a subject close to my heart. My twin and I are adopted to separate families. I would never wish that on anyone else. I strongly beleive as others have said, that twins are meant to be together.

My twin and I have a relationship now, but still miss the many years we could have been together, and weren't.

HI, I think it is best to keep them together, twins have a speical bond. I have two sets of cousins who are twins, 2 years olds adn 16 year olds. They love one another so much. WE are hoping to adopt and would love twins, i read the post that if they were biological you would not say, that they were to much to handle, i agree. Twins share things differently, they are very close. e-mail me if you want to chat. lilnico31@yahoo.com
twins also keep each other company, that is what my aunts say...
