Sarah and Amanda: Identical Twins at Last

Amanda and Sarah
| Sarah and Amanda's parents were told that their twin daughters were not identical at the time of their birth, however as they grew up they certainly looked like identical twins. After hearing a lecture at the Yale University School of Nursing given by Dr. Kliman, Sarah asked if there was a way to find out one way or another. Here is their story of discovery.
