My name is Eva.

My name is Erica.

Vaderball, I and Miracle were united when we were born.

We’ve been apart for a long time.

Eva is very talkative, frank, stubborn, simply put.

She’s always smiling.

Erica is the carefree one.

They are both carefree and happy girls.

They are very intelligent.

They are very intelligent girls.

Erica and I were close when we were born.

Do you remember being together?

No, yes, I never do.

He always took my toy and put it in his mouth.

So the girls were born together on August 10, 2014.

They were collected from the bottom of the rib cage to the pelvis.

They shared a bladder and shared a third leg.

My pregnancy with the twins was a big surprise for all of us.

When she said her babies are bonded, I must have liked the space.

I just wasn’t getting it.

The risk of giving up the cufflinks.

It was 30 chances for survival and for us to make the decision to bring them into this world and let them go as far as they could that we were willing to do.

Purple or star.

O

kay, come in.

We were willing to accept them if they couldn’t be separated except the way they were supposed to be.

But when we were given the opportunity to separate them, we took advantage of that opportunity.

What are you doing?

We came to the conclusion that we definitely expected them to have that individuality where they have two separate lives.

The doctor’s goals were to make them grow.

Grow them before taking the next step of separating them.

So if I was the bigger baby of the two, that was about five people together.

When they were born, the doctors noticed how Erica was merging with Eva, with her body, and as time went by, you saw Erica shrinking with Eva and Eva was becoming this little three-sized baby.

It seemed like she looked like the baby and Erica looked like the person attached to her.

When the girls were separated, they were 16 months old and that day I felt peace.

We had a lot of family.

We had a lot of support.

People who didn’t know us were coming closer.

We had a lot of family there.

It was a team of 50 doctors, doctors, among others, and esthesiologists.

Yes, it was between 17 and 18 hours.

It was a beautiful day when they told us: you know, we have, you have two girls.

You know you have two babies.

So I used to call him crab because of the way they moved when they first joined together.

Now they just slide.

They slide by pretty quickly, since the girls have separated.

They have adapted very well.

They love to do their own things.

They have their individual personalities.

They love different things, which once again emphasizes to them that it’s okay to be different.

I love reading, like Belle.

She likes books, so he likes the same.

I like to play basketball.

So let’s put a patch.

The brain does not target your right eye, so it makes your left eye work harder.

So what we’re doing is relaxing the left eye.

So we cover, we cover the left eye, the good eye, so that she can, um, use her right eye.

They are doing very well with their prosthesis.

They are doing very well.

Just walking, you know, jumping is what I call it.

Again, there are no plans in the near future for any type of surgery for the girls.

So my hopes, our hopes for the girls’ future, is that they succeed in spite of what they accomplish, that they know that just because they are a little different doesn’t make them any less strong than the next person.

What do you like to do?

Um, I want to play basketball, just like Kobe Bryant, I like to do when I grow up and be a veterinarian.

We’ve had times where there are situations where there are people who don’t understand why I brought them into this world.

A lot of comments have been made and I say that each of us has our own, you know, decisions as to why we choose to bring someone into a world.

Our choice was to have these two small works that you know and give them the opportunity.

I think the decision to bring them into this world was the best decision you ever made.
