Hola, Teccles
I'd say "No puedo creer que mi hermana tiene tenga 21 (veintiuno) años."
Saludos

The sentence requires the subjunctive-- "tenga." - --Mariana--, Apr 6, 2013

The sentence calls for the subjunctive mood. Whether you "don't believe it/no creo" or "can't believe it/no puedo creer" it still requires the subjunctive.
"¡No puedo creer que mi hermana tenga 21 años!"

You could plug that into the translater but I do not know whether that idiom would normally be used in Spanish speaking countries. Usually it is best not to translated literally from English but rather find out how a thought is expressed in Spanish.
Welcome to the forum. It would be nice if you completed your profile.
