Anne Stephens is mum to rising stars in the Australian media landscape, twin sisters, Clare and Jessie Stephens. She is also mum to another set of twins, brothers, Nick and Jack. 

 Before all the twins, Anne adopted out her first son in relative secrecy. 

 Anne has been a teacher all her life and has big ‘favourite English teacher’ energy. 

 Not surprisingly, she has a lot of insights into the nature of raising twins.

 After this recording, she found out her twin daughters are actually identical (they took a DNA test). They’d lived their 30+ years plus thinking they were fraternal. 

 You can hear Anne’s full adoption story here:
