15+ Pics Proving That Twins Are Blessings That Come in Pairs

Researchers believe that the world may have reached the peak number of twins in our global population. According to recent data, an estimated 1.6 million twins are born every year, thanks to medical developments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other fertility techniques. Having a pair of babies may be twice as much work for parents, but it also means double the love and joy.
