Lydia Fairchild is an American woman who exhibits chimerism, or when 2 sets of DNA is present in her body. When the father of her children, Jamie Townsend, decided to separate from her, Lydia decided to apply for welfare. She was required to provide DNA evidence that Jamie was the father of her children.

The DNA did show that Jamie was the father, but it also showed that Lydia wasn’t the mother of her own children. It turns out that Lydia’s twin was the biological mother of her own children, by Lydia didn’t even have a twin. Further investigation proved that she had chimera, and had two sets of DNA by absorbing her twin in the womb. (Source & More Information)
