This is what I have concluded from the information I have gathered based on Amelia, Jon, Alyssa, and Alan:

Amelia and Alyssa were adopted. Their mother, Kelly McKinley, was a barren woman who could not produce children and thought on reproduction. It would be difficult for her to find young children under the age of three, which was the age group that she preferred. A few days prior, two brunette twins at the age of two, a sister and brother, were transferred to St. Joseph's Hospital, also known as Mission, from a hospital out of state, which I have not confirmed yet.

Meanwhile, the same day she went to pick up the two siblings, two blonde twins, a brother and sister as well, were brought out of labor. The mother died of childbirth, and the father had yet to see them. They had been given a name right before the mother breathed her last breath, and wheeled into the nursery, where other infants slept. The males and females were split within the room, females on one side, males on the other.

The fraternal brunette brother, Chris, had been wheeled closely to Alfred, the identical twin brother of Alexia. When the father of Alexia and Alfred came to claim his children, he assumed Chris as his child and Alexia was left behind, wheeled closely to Claire's crib. When the McKinley mother came to pick up two children, she assumed the blonde and brunette as sisters.

When Mission realized they had made a mistake and each family contained the other's child, they bothered not to talk about it. A lie was told that each child did not have a name, and that one must be given to each of them. This is the list of names for each person:

It turned out that Amelia had questioned her aunt, Alice, in the past about her middle name.. one that did not exist. She only went by Amelia McKinley, as Alyssa went by Alyssa McKinley. Her mother had just been following directions and bothered not to question authority.

Had it been not for Amelia's decesed father, she would have questioned more about Alyssa and her own appearances, and how they differed so greatly. Alyssa was a blonde, Amelia a brunette.

There had been much more confusion involving the Ashford family. If the mother had just then conceived a child, then why did Jon appear so much more older? Jon was born premature, so he did not appear as old as he could have, but Alan was also born slightly premature. Not to mention their differences were enormous.

Like the difference between Alyssa and Amelia, there was much between Jon and Alan. Alyssa was the brains, although she was youger, similar to how Alan was the brains rather than Jon. Both Amelia and Jon were tomboys, but they couldn't find each other familiar when they met.

Alan and Alyssa found theirselves familar because they looked just alike! Strange how the opposite sex can look so alike. Alan came to find that his father had been hiding the truth so Alan wouldn't become hysterical. When his father fell ill, he used him against his own research facility, Umbrella, started by Alexandra Ashford, when he could not struggle, not even against his fourteen-year-old son, and he evolved into a monster.

Alan assumed his new, or shall I say old, name as Alfred because he now had to except responsibilities. When reunited with his sister, she accepted her name as Alexia, as his sister, as if nothing had ever happened. Jon and Amelia were rescued from the Umbrella base before things got out of hand, and were taught to remember that their real names are Claire Amelia Redfield and Chris Jonathan Redfield.

All we can do is keep them under surveilance. They both want to train to become future STARS members, but it's going to take a few years. I'm not so sure I'm looking forward to that.
