We love a good tale of birth coincidence, and that of the Perkins family - from Queensland in Australia - is one of the most charming we have ever heard.
August 16th will forever hold major significance for Caitlin and Tom Perkins as, not only is it their shared birthday, but it’s also the date when their daughter Lucy Marie was born!
The couple’s doctor, Brad Robinson, took to Facebook to share news of the beautiful coincidence with the world.
Posting a photo of the family, Dr Robinson wrote: “So get this ... both Caitlin and Tom turned 30 yesterday. Born within 50 minutes of each other on 16/08/86. Guess who else now has a birthday on 16 August? YEP. Lucy was born yesterday after SPONTANEOUS labour on the same day as her parents!”
He added that the odds of this happening stand at one in 48 million!
“How incredible is it that the three of them now have the same birthday? And what a gorgeous family they make!” he added.
Congratulations to the family on their lovely news.
