Savannah Combs’ journey to motherhood took an extraordinary turn when she discovered she was carrying identical twin daughters, Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman. What’s more remarkable is that both babies have Down syndrome, a rare occurrence affecting only one in 2 million births.
Initially, Savannah faced daunting advice to abort her children due to their condition. But she chose to give them a chance at life.
“Every prenatal appointment, they were alive was a blessing to me,” Savannah shared.
Born two months premature, Kennadi and Mckenli spent weeks in the NICU before going home. Despite their rare condition, Savannah asserts they’re just like any other child.
“They have feelings, a beating heart, and their own unique spirit,” she said.
Savannah’s TikTok posts documenting her postpartum journey and her daughters’ milestones have gained widespread attention and admiration.
However, she’s also faced cruel criticism from some. One person even suggested giving her babies up for adoption.
Savannah’s response was poignant: “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 dedication to her daughters shine through in every update. Her story spreads awareness and challenges societal perceptions about Down syndrome.
As Kennadi and Mckenli continue to thrive, Savannah’s message is clear: “They’re going to get there, maybe a step behind, but they’ll do it. They’re feisty little things and happy little things.”
