The chances of giving birth to twins increased by 72 percent between 1980 and 2018, but twins are still quite rare. About 33 out of every 1,000 births result in twins. What about identical twins? Approximately 3 or 4 out of every 1,000 births are identical twins, which is also quite rare. When 23-year-old Savannah Combs found out she was expecting twins, she was overjoyed. Then she learned something even rarer\u2014both babies had Down syndrome. The news was emotional. Savannah and her husband, Justin Ackerman, knew some people might judge them because of their daughters\u2019 condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But to Savannah, that made her daughters even more precious. \u201cIt\u2019s very rare what they have, but they\u2019ve been my little gems,\u201d she told News4JAX. Savannah, from Middleburg, Florida, shares her journey with her daughters, Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman, on TikTok, where they quickly gained many followers. In one video, Savannah revealed she was advised to terminate the pregnancy because the babies might not survive. She chose to keep them and give them a chance. \u201cEvery prenatal appointment where they were alive was a blessing to me,\u201d Savannah said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she found out both girls had Down syndrome, her husband was away at boot camp. Savannah was 29 weeks pregnant when she was admitted to the hospital and gave birth to her daughters. The identical twins, Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman, were born on May 12, 2021. The twins arrived two months early and spent several weeks in the NICU before coming home. \u201cThey\u2019re called mono-di twins, which means they had their own sacs but shared the same placenta, so they are identical,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMono-di twins alone are very rare. Add Down syndrome on top of that, and it\u2019s like one in two million.\u201d Despite their rare condition, Savannah says her daughters are just like any other children. \u201cThey have feelings. They have a beating heart. They know how to communicate and do many things. They will get there,\u201d she said. \u201cIt might take a little longer, but they will do it. I\u2019ve learned these kids are strong-willed and happy.\u201d As her daughters reach new milestones, Savannah shares adorable updates on TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want them to know they\u2019re just like everyone else and can achieve anything they set their minds to.\u201d However, Savannah has faced criticism online. Some people have made hurtful comments about her family. One person wrote, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t want those babies; if mine were born like that, I would put them up for adoption.\u201d Savannah\u2019s response was powerful and shared on Facebook: \u201cGood thing they weren\u2019t born to you and were born to me. God knew what He was doing by giving these babies to the right parents who love them no matter what.\u201d These beautiful girls are incredibly special. Anyone who says otherwise is simply unkind. They are some of the most precious and loving people you will ever meet. Please share this heartwarming story on Facebook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
