More than 139,000 twins are born each year in the United States, according to the
National Center for Health Statistics, and 125 million people in the world are
twins, triplets and higher-order multiples. And these numbers grow every year,
mostly due to the increased use of treatments for infertility. Speaking to parents
of twins, singer Kenny Rogers notes in the book, \"Twice the Love: Stories of
Inspiration for Families with Twins, Multiples and Singletons\": "Having just had
identical twin boys, I can promise you, you need all the help you can get."
TwinsTalk was developed to take on that formidable task-to educate and entertain
parents of twins, triplets and more. Families of multiples can log on at
www.twinstalk.com.
