As a mom of twin daughters that are now 18, I wanted to read some information on circumstances that are now occurring in our lives. I went to a local bookshop to find out what printed material and research had been done on teen through adult twins, surprisingly nothing out there. At that moment I knew that there must be other moms and parents out there looking for some answers.
I have twin daughters, Melissa and Meredith. They were born in North Carolina and that is where they were raised for most of their lives. Both girls are well adjusted and have been very close growing up. They basically played the same sports, received the same grades in school and had many of the same friends.When they were 15 we moved to Maryland. The adjustment for them was difficult. They were use to a more layed back lifestyle and now not only were they thrust into a bustling environment, they had to make new friends and attend a new high school where they did not know a soul.
Since both girls are athletic they tried out for sports teams the summer before their freshman year(each one a different sport) Melissa became the youngest member on the girls varsity tennis team and Meredith was on the Girls Varsity soccer team. I was happy that they found their own niche.
Attending the games was a challenge especially when they were both on the same day but usually not at the same time. The tennis matches were usually at 3:15 while the soccer was at 5:00 or 7:00pm. Through this though I was able to meet alot of the parents and players on both teams.I was excited for my girls because I thought that this would make the transition from North Carolina to Maryland so much better for them. Both of my twins also became members of the Varsity swim team and Melissa also made the JV softball team in the spring of her freshman year as well. So I felt that they were really getting off to a good start!
