VIDEO: Identical Twins are Born. But the Doctor Says “I’m Sorry…”

Abigail and Isobel Parry were born on June 29th, 2011. A couple of weeks before their mom got pregnant, the doctor told the parents regretfully that both Abigail and Isobel were diagnosed with Down’s syndrome. But the father tells him he doesn’t know why he felt sorry for them. Abigail and Isobel are wonderful, always smiling and caring for other children. God bless them and their parents!
Abigail and Isobel are not only impossible to tell apart – they’re also one in a million twins this is because the chances of giving birth in the UK to a baby with Down’s syndrome is approximately one in 1,000, while the odds of giving birth to identical twins with the condition is one in a million.
According to the dailymail.co.uk, mom and dad Jodi and Matt Parry, from Chorley, Lancashire, admit that they both grieved when they were told their girls had the condition. But now they couldn’t be prouder of their daughters and say even if their adorable girls could be born again without Down’s syndrome, they wouldn’t wish for Abigail and Isobel to be any different.
Jodi explained that when they were born they grieved when they found out that they had Down syndrome but that now they wouldn’t change a thing about their baby girls.
Jodi, who works in the police force, added: ‘I wouldn’t say I have made any sacrifices because of the girls being born. It sounds sort of sugar coated but the only things that they have brought into our life are positive. There’s nothing negative.’
They have another son, Finn, and he has no condition whatsoever. They realized that there is no difference between their daughters and their son except for the speed with which they are developing. The boy loves his sisters very much and he says that his life wouldn’t be the same without them.
Between 2011-2013, there was a 17.8 percent increase in abortions for Down’s Syndrome and the couple is concerned that without balanced advice alongside a controversial new test for the condition, the number of terminations of pregnancies could increase because people don’t know the whole story.
They have created a charity called Twincess to try and show people the positive sides of having children with Down’s syndrome and get rid of all the myths that envelop this condition.
While Matt and Jodi have embraced the extra chromosomes that have helped shape Isobel and Abigail’s personalities, Matt admits that when they first learned their twins had Down’s syndrome, they were devastated.
The girls have grown and they are now five-years-old and they are just a joy to have around. They are adorable and really special children that brighten your day. Even though they have to struggle with some illnesses from time to time, there isn’t anything wrong with them and they go to a normal school like all the other children their age. At the moment they are mostly communicating through sign language but their speech improves daily.
