A couple of new Argentine parents lived a true odyssey for differentiate their newborn twins after they withdrew a badge that helped them know which is which.

The case began to go viral after the mother exposed it on social networks to ask for some advice to help them solve the problems they faced with their recent babies.

The couple had to ask for the help of the authorities to be able to identify their twins, since, when removing the bracelets that they had been placed at birth, they were confused and could no longer distinguish them.

“Tomorrow I have to go to the police to get my twins fingerprinted and tell me which is whichI won the mother of the year award ”, wrote Sofía Rodríguez on her Twitter account, the mother of Lorenzo and Valentín, who humorously recounted the problem she faced together with the father of the babies, Leonardo Costa.

Lawrence and Valentine were born on January 6 in the city of Mendoza and, as is the case with all twins, they were immediately put on different colored bracelets to identify them.

The problem arose at the beginning of March, since one night both babies vomited and the father and mother decided to remove the bracelets to clean them and then they could no longer recognize them.

In the face of some comments that said that he should no longer worry about distinguishing his children that he renamed them, the mother explained that it was important for her to know who is who because “everyone has their birth certificate, their DNI, their medical history, their identities basically. And because as a mother I want to know which is which”, Sofía replied.

Authorities helped solve the problem

Days after telling his story, Officials from the National Registry of Persons (Renaper) arrived at the home of the couple to take again the biometric data of the children and compare them with the DNI that had been issued as soon as they were born.

with those actions managed to distinguish the twins in the most reliable way, since that is the strongest proof of identity, since human fingerprints are unique.
