Having twins is already an unusual occurrence, with only about 33 out of every 1,000 births resulting in twins. But imagine the rarity of not only having twins but also having them both born with Down syndrome. Meet Savannah Combs, a remarkable mother who embraces the uniqueness of her twins and shares their inspiring journey.

Embracing the Rarity

At just 23 years old, Savannah received the joyous news that she was expecting twins. However, she soon discovered that her twins were born with Down syndrome. While this initially brought a mix of emotions, Savannah quickly realized the true value and beauty of her children. She lovingly calls them her “little gems” and cherishes their rare and special qualities.

Challenging Stereotypes

To challenge stereotypes and change misconceptions about Down syndrome, Savannah decided to document her postpartum journey with her twins on TikTok. Through her videos, she shares the twins’ milestones and experiences, aiming to educate others and promote understanding. Unfortunately, she also faces insensitive comments, like when someone suggested she should have aborted her twins. However, Savannah’s courage and conviction led her to affirm their right to life and believe that every prenatal appointment was a blessing.

Overcoming Challenges

Kennadi Rue and Mckenli, born two months prematurely, had to spend several weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) before they could go home. These little fighters, known as “mono di twins,” 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. But for Savannah, her daughters are like any other children, with hearts that beat, emotions, and the ability to communicate. She firmly believes that they will reach their milestones, even if it takes a little longer.

Spreading Love and Acceptance

While Savannah and her family have received a lot of love and support, they have also encountered hurtful remarks on social media. In response, Savannah proudly shares a message on Facebook, declaring that her children were born to her, and she was chosen by God to be their mother. She reminds people that her daughters are beautiful, valuable, and deserving of love.

Savannah continues to share the inspiring updates on TikTok as her daughters progress and achieve their milestones. Through her heartfelt videos and messages, she hopes to show the world that her girls are just like any other children, with unlimited potential. She encourages everyone to join in spreading the word about this touching story on Facebook, promoting understanding, acceptance, and love for children with Down syndrome.

Let’s celebrate the rare beauty and preciousness of these Down syndrome twins and support their loving family. Together, we can make a difference in their lives and in the lives of many others.
