May these dear little mites rest in peace now. They knew love from their parents and those around them. Such a difficult time for their family tho. They will never be forgotten and always a special part of that family.

oh dear, just looked at the link - how dreadful - no way these could be separated - the parents already have seven children - sadly I fear there is only one outcome to this - heartbreaking

One day at a time is the only way to manage.

As this is so rare it would be difficult for anyone to give advice from previous experience.

Lots of cuddles and the care all new born babies need.
I reckon that these parents will always do the best for their new little girls. Bonding helps poorly little babies to do as well as possible.

Sadly the survival rate for this condition is nil

What a dilemma for the parents when they found out during the pregnancy
Not sure at all whether I would have gone on with the pregnancy myself but if you don't believe in abortion then the alternative is to let nature take its course

Heartbreaking time for them .

Well, no matter what anyone thinks, it has been reported that.....

Despite the long-term risks and difficulties associated with the genetic disorder, the couple said terminating the pregnancy was never an option.

Love is good for starters ..... and prayers for the well being of them all would be better than anything less.....in my opinion.
