Having twins is already a remarkable event, occurring in about 33 out of every 1,000 births. Imagine the rarity of having not just twins, but twins born with Down syndrome. This is the heartwarming story of Savannah Combs, a mother who shows us the true beauty and preciousness of her twins.

Embracing their Uniqueness

When Savannah, a 23-year-old mother, discovered she was expecting twins, she was filled with joy. However, her happiness soon turned to concern when she learned that both of her twins had Down syndrome. Although this news initially brought some sadness, Savannah quickly realized that her children were incredibly valuable in their own way. She lovingly refers to them as her “little gems”. She understands that what they have is rare and special.

Breaking Stereotypes with Love

Savannah decided to share her journey as a mother to twins with Down syndrome on TikTok. Through her heartfelt videos, she hopes to challenge stereotypes and change people’s misconceptions about Down syndrome. She bravely shares that someone even suggested she should have aborted her twins. However, Savannah made the courageous choice to give them the opportunity to live. To her, every prenatal appointment was a blessing.

Triumphing Over Challenges

Born two months prematurely, Kennadi Rue and Mckenli had to spend several weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) before coming home. Savannah explains that they are what’s known as “mono di twins”, meaning they had their own sacs but shared the same placenta, making them identical. Adding to their uniqueness, having Down syndrome makes them even more rare, with odds of one in every two million.

However, Savannah sees her daughters just like any other children. They have emotions, beating hearts, and the ability to communicate. She firmly believes that they will achieve their milestones, even if it takes a little longer.

Spreading Love and Acceptance

Despite the love and support that Savannah and her family have received, they have also encountered hurtful comments on social media. But Savannah has the perfect response to these insensitive remarks. She proudly shares a message on Facebook, announcing that her children were brought into this world for her, and she was chosen by God to be their mother. She reminds people that her daughters are beautiful, valuable, and deserving of love.

On TikTok, Savannah continues to update others on her daughters’ progress and their milestones. Through her videos and messages, she hopes to show the world that her girls are just like any other children, with limitless potential. She invites everyone to spread the word about this touching story on Facebook, to foster understanding, acceptance, and love for children with Down syndrome.

Let us celebrate the extraordinary beauty and preciousness of these rare Down syndrome twins and extend our unwavering support to their loving family. Together, we can create a world that embraces and appreciates diversity.
