I have heard of twins having different fathers, it is rare but it can certainly happen.

Yes. If the twins are fraternal (non identical siblings). Its possible that if a woman releases two eggs and has sex with two different men at the same time or within a few days of each other, that one man can fertilise one egg and the other man fertilised the other egg.

Absolutely! Let's say the female gives birth to the first twins today, then gets pregnant by another man then gives birth to the second twins 9 months after LOL!

I think it could happen.
there are 2 kinds of twins :
- identical twins : 1 egg, 1 fecondation, the egg slpit up in 2 identical eggs to give 2 identical twins.
in that case, only one man can be the father
- non identical twins : 2 eggs, 2 fecondations, 2 children born the same day, but they are totaly different.
in that case, 2 men can be fathers.
but the woman must have sex with those 2 men the same day I guess...

Yes, it is possible. The female would have to release 2 or more eggs at ovulation and then each egg would have to be fertilised by a different male.

It's true I saw it on discovery health channel. The reason the woman had one black twin and one white twin is the sperm was artificially implanted. The doctor accidently used a used needle to implant the sperm, the needle had the black guys sperm on it first, then used it again for her.

Yes it IS possible, one sperm from one guy would fertilize one egg, and one sperm from the other guy would fertilize the other. They, of course, would NOT be identical twins.
This is the same situation in the case of regular fraternal twins, two eggs are present and get fertilized by two different sperm.

sure, it may-and has-handed off. If a woman releases 2 eggs, and has intercourse with 2 separate adult males in the process the time she is fertile then each and every of the eggs ought to doubtlessly be fertilized via a different guy's sperm.

Absolutely....There was a woman recently who had twins...one white one black. I think it has something to do with how many eggs she has that are fertilized by two different men.

Only by artificial insemination. I know this gay couple that had a surrogate mother to carry their child they put sperm from both of them she got pregnant with twins they dont want a DNA to see which baby belongs to who, it was a beautiful thing.
