"Greater insight..."
-Twin and parent of twins: Half of a Duo, Raising a Duo
Abigail Pogrebin has written a great book, and as an identical twin, raising fraternal twins, I’d love to present it to my readers, especially those parenting multiples. Abby Pogrebin’s book about twins and singularity—takes you on her quest to learn more about twin identity. It’s called ONE AND THE SAME. As an identical twin parenting fraternal twins, I’ve given a glimpse in this blog about twin identity but I think Abby’s book, which is her quest to gain wisdom about multiples and identity, and can give greater insight. She went to great lengths to interview twins and talk about their search for identity. I know one thing as a twin myself: It is nearly impossible for twins to maintain full separation as they truly are one and the same, created inutero with a bond that is almost psychic in nature. However, all being strive to be individualistic. With multiples, this is much harder since the nature of their births creates an impression on family, friends, associates, even the multiples themselves, that they are part of a unit and should be by default one and the same.
