The same idea as fraternal twins, two separate ova, each fertilized by a diffrent man's sperm at about the same time. (the woman would have to have multible partners at about the same time)

yes it is possible.
"This official medical term for this phenomenon is heteropaternal superfecundation."
“If the twins are fraternal, where two eggs (ova) are fertilized by two sperm and produce two genetically unique children, then one baby could be slightly older than the other. In addition, if a woman ovulates, releases two eggs and has intercourse with two different men, the eggs could be fertilized by both, resulting in fraternal twins with distinctive fathers.”

Yes, it can-and has-happened. If a woman releases two eggs, and has intercourse with two separate men during the time she is fertile then each of the eggs could potentially be fertilized by a different man's sperm.

Yes in rare instances. When two eggs drop down during ovulation and the woman has sexual intercourse with two different men in a very short window of time, the two different sets of sperm can each fertilize a different egg.

It can happen though not often. A few years ago a woman in England gave birth to two boys. One was white like his father and mother. The second boy was half black, after his father. The boys were conceived within hours apart, or so the doctors think.

Yes a woman can get pregnant by two different. It has happened. Several years ago there was thing big thing where this woman had slept with a black guy and a white one and got pregnant by them both. She ended up with one and the other one came and got his child. So yes, it can be done.

I think I saw this scenario on Montel or Maury a few years ago. One baby was black, one was white and they were both twins.
