Baby twins Abigail and Isobel were born prematurely. A few weeks later, the
parents received news that left them reeling.
The doctor led Matt and Jodi into an impersonal room and said the two words
Jodi will never forget: “I’m sorry.”
Both Abigail and Isobel were diagnosed with Down Syndrome. Out of
everything else that was said and done that day, Jodi said it was the “I’m
sorry” that made Jodi feel like the diagnosis was a life sentence.
At the time, Matt and Jodi knew next to nothing about Down Syndrome. After
all, the odds of giving birth to identical twins who both have the condition is
one in a million.
Instead of being supplied with information or support, Matt and Jodi were
left with a pit of fear, panic, and unanswered questions. Would the girls be
able to attend public school? Could they learn alongside their peers?
But it wasn’t long after the girls came home from hospital that something
else became very clear.
Wait until you see Abigail and Isobel five years later in the video below…
