The stories of identical twins' nearly
identical lives are often astonishing, but perhaps none more so than those of
identical twins born in Ohio.
The twin boys were separated at
birth, being adopted by different families. Unknown to each other, both
families named the boys James. And here the coincidences just begin. Both James
grew up not even knowing of the other, yet both sought law-enforcement training,
both had abilities in mechanical drawing and carpentry, and each had married
women named Linda. They both had sons whom one named James Alan and the other
named James Allan. The twin brothers also divorced their wives and married
other women - both named Betty. And they both owned dogs which they named Toy.
Forty years after their childhood separation,
the two men were reunited to share their amazingly similar lives.
