When Sam and Max were born, we weren't sure if they were identical or fraternal. There was no test along the way which told us, and the medical system offered no information here. After some time with the boys we concluded that they were fraternal. Lately though, we had been feeling a little less confident. Amanda really wanted to know for certain, so she ordered a DNA test which we performed, and we just got the results this past Friday. It turns out that, indeed, Sam and Max are... identical! We were quite surprised, since we spent the entire past year thinking that they were fraternal and that they just happened to look pretty similar. Not that this practically changes anything, but it makes them feel even more special somehow, but maybe we're biased.

Max and Sam, identical after all
