While the chances of having twins have increased, it remains relatively rare. Identical twins occur in approximately three or four out of every 1,000 births. For Savannah Combs, a 29-year-old from Middleburg, Florida, finding out she was pregnant with twins brought both excitement and an unexpected rarity – both twins had Down syndrome.

Savannah and her husband, Justin Ackerman, chose to embrace their daughters, Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman, despite being advised to abort due to their condition. The identical twins, born on May 12, 2021, are classified as mono di twins, sharing the same placenta, making their case even rarer, with odds of one in 2 million.

Savannah’s journey, shared on TikTok, highlights that her daughters, although unique, are like any other children. She emphasizes their capacity to learn and grow, emphasizing their feisty and joyful personalities.
