Siblings can be the same age, in the form of twins and triplets, and other various forms of the multiple births.
siblings
yes they are twins and siblings too at that.
The Duggar children closest in age are the twins, as they were only born minutes apart. Other than the twins, the closest births are Jordyn and Josie, at 8 days less than a year. Jordyn was born on December 18, 2008, and Josie was born on December 10, 2008. However, Josie was born four months premature, so if she was born on or around her due date, they would not be the closest in age.
Some of the Duggar children were born just minutes apart because there are two sets of twins in the family.
No, you shouldn't need to raise them any differently. Fraternal twins are no more alike than two siblings...i know from experience that most twins like to be treated as, well...not twins. When you think about it, all they really are is siblings that are born at the same time. If you had a son who was 8, and a daughter who was 12; fraternal twins would be no different to these two siblings if they were both 8 or both 12.
Irish twins
Fraternal twins are two siblings that have the same birth day, but do not look identical.
Alec and Jane,they are bio twins
There is no proper term for "Irish Twins" (a derogatory phrase by the way). They would simply be siblings.
A standard DNA test would rank them as siblings.
Depends. If they are twins (Identical) then yes. There has been reports of Identical Twins having same DNA and Finger prints. There has never been any records of regular siblings sharing the same fingerprints
