At 23, Savannah Combs was overjoyed to discover she was carrying twins. But when she learned they both had Down syndrome, she faced a unique challenge. Despite the rarity – 1 in 2 million – and others’ judgments, Savannah embraced her daughters’ uniqueness.
Savannah’s TikTok posts documenting her postpartum journey with Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman quickly gained popularity. She shared her decision to keep her babies despite advice to abort, and her gratitude for each prenatal appointment they survived.
Born two months early, the identical twin daughters spent weeks in the NICU before going home. Savannah celebrated their milestones, emphasizing their capabilities and feelings. “They’re feisty little things and happy little things… they’re going to get there, just like us.”
Savannah faced cruel comments online, but responded with grace. When one person said they wouldn’t want her babies, she replied, “Good thing they weren’t born to you and were born to me.
God knew what he was doing by giving these babies to the right parents who would love them regardless.”
Savannah’s love and acceptance are a testament to the beauty of her rare and precious daughters. Share their inspiring story and spread love and kindness!
