They have two stomachs, three lungs and at birth three arms of which one of them was amputated in infancy. |

ok so how has nobody commented on any of this ? its so cool! definently not something that happen s everyday. im sorry , but to be honest i can’t stop thinking bout what it would be like to have sex with them. imagine!

What’s amazing is that they are so normal! I can’t imagine how tough things will be when they get older … as michelle points out. What if one is of the alternative pursuasion? What if they both like different guys? Can you legally marry a conjoined twin, or do you marry one of them? If the latter, I guess you’d always be having threesomes … too weird!

What everyone needs to remember is that they are two individuals who happen to share the same body. It is extraordinary and I commend their parents for raising two wonderful people. I am sure as they get older, their lives will be full of trials, but I am sure they will also lead fulfilling and rewarding lives.

February 19th, 2007 at 10:53 am

These girls are absolutely incredible! i take my hat off to them!! they are just amazing! I watched a documentary typed thing on them and its amazing watching them communicate with each other and how well they ‘work’! amazing!
March 7th, 2007 at 8:46 am
Freaks!!!
March 8th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
I think Abby and Brittany are really cool. i would like to talk to them especially becaue they know who they are and don’t care what people think : D
March 12th, 2007 at 11:30 pm
I am a teacher in a secondary school in England doing a module for year 8 students about discrimination. Tomorrow we are going to do a lesson about the origins of Freak Shows and how people consumed them, and then look at if people view things differently these days, looking at the incredible Abbey and Britney.
How telling that someone decided to submit a comment that simply said ‘Freaks’!
maybe we haven’t advanced much.
March 14th, 2007 at 12:58 pm
hey there awesome i want to add them on myspace!!!!
March 16th, 2007 at 7:36 am
kymmy-rae ur a prick. what makes you so perfect !!!!
March 16th, 2007 at 7:40 am
Those two girls are just astounding. So strong, and doubly self-determined, if that’s not a contradiction in terms. I think they would make fantastic co-ordinators for ‘team skills’ courses!! Amazing how the human spirit will always find a way!!
March 16th, 2007 at 7:51 am
I have just seen the girls for the first time on a documentary and i thought my life was complicated. These girls do have more problems than most of us put together, but seem to be getting on with life regardless. I think they are an insperation to us all. God bless them.

Abbey & Brittany
I live in the UK and watched the documentary this evening (15th March 2007). Cool girls I think. I dont care how they look physically. What I saw however were two young girls with an independency about them. They happen to be cojoined, but it hasnt prevented either Abbey or Brittany in achieving what they have set out to do. I look at these two people as a miracle, but also as two people - of course they are. I was however offended when I watched the dickhead with a video camera at the baseball game. Ok, its his job to capture things on video and the opportunity was perhaps too great for him to resist, but where were his manners. Didnt he think to ask, or to introduce himself and ask permission to film. Maybe Abbey & Brittany may have said “yeah..OK…hurry up, but get out of our faces as we are here to watch a ball game…der! If I saw them in the street, I would go over and say hello, to both of them - seperately. Abbey and Brittany are excellent examples of typical teenagers (I got two myself and a younger one). I also dont actually care how they function together at a body level like the obsessed doctors (they have a job to do as well I suppose, and are bound to have more questions than they can deal with). Whats important is that Aabbey\has a life and her own aspirations, just like Brittany does. They have a life and they have each other for support. They have a fantastic mother as well. Looking beyond the etched strained wrinkles (sorry Mrs H) of a person who has lived every day wondering what just might be for her twins, I applaued her excellent job of her and her husbands job in bringing these two girls up. To Abbey - I think you would be a good designer. To Brittany, how about becoming a pychologist. Just my gut instinct from watching your mannerisms. Anyway…you may never read this, but if you ever do, I’d swap emails, and chat about the English weather or something. Terry

Depends on how it was written and what one reads by it. Which isn’t to say that it isn’t without its problematics, its shared fleshes.
March 16th, 2007 at 5:22 pm
i want to know more about these girls i’ve been suprised
March 17th, 2007 at 11:50 pm
These girls are so inspiring. I hope they live a long life and accomplish all their dreams!
March 18th, 2007 at 12:11 am
What a cruel world we live in, and by that I mean some of us are dealt such a bad hand in life that they can only comprehend variations in this life (from what their primative minds have struggled to perceive) as, in this case, “freaks”. I have no time for some people.
I would be honored if I could call these girls my friends,
March 22nd, 2007 at 8:17 am
I watched a Discovery program a few months ago about the two getting thier licences. They seem to have pretty much a normal childhood.I remember seeing them back a few years ago on a TLC program involving another set of conjoined twins over in the UK, (Katie and Eilish). Everyone asks about school, their careers, friends.. etc. The thing I’m curious about is how do they handle intimacy? They’re in thier teens now, and I’m sure boys are on thier minds. How do they handle the intimate moments ?
March 24th, 2007 at 7:09 pm
There’s no need to wonder. As I recall, the best known “Siamese” (conjoined) twins Chang and Eng Bunker ( Chang and Eng Bunker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang_and_Eng_Bunker ) were married,and had no problems with intimacy up to and including fathering children. They married two women who were sisters, though, so I suppose that made private matters easier. According to Wikipedia: “(The Bunkers) were accepted as respected members of the community. On April 13, 1843, they married two sisters: Chang to Adelaide Yates and Eng to Sarah Anne Yates. Chang and his wife had ten children; Eng and his wife had twelve. In time, the wives squabbled and eventually two separate households were set up just west of Mount Airy, North Carolina – the twins would alternate spending three days at each home.(…) Many of their descendants still live in the Mount Airy area (of North Carolina).”
10 and 12 kids– !!! That’s waaay too ambitious for anyone, I’d say.
As far as other “privacy” matters for Abigail and Brittany, I suppose if they want to keep secrets from one another, passing notes and holding them in such a way that the other girl can’t see’em is not difficult, though writing the notes without sharing them with the other girl might be difficult.
But, HEY, we’re talking about two TEENAGE GIRLS here. I imagine they “handle” intimate moments by gabbing and sharing secrets CONSTANTLY.
The world will never need newsstations, as long as there are teenage girls and phones. 
March 24th, 2007 at 8:26 pm
hey
we live in the UK !!! we watched the show a few weeks ago!! and we think that you are really amazing and brave!!!! we hope you continue to live a very happy life!!! x x x
March 25th, 2007 at 8:53 am
É impressionante, mas é a vida e são dÃvidas cármicas que as duas estão tendo que ressarcir nesta vida. Muito possivelmente elas terão tido uma evolução a partir dessa situação e que poderão usufruir posteriormente.
March 26th, 2007 at 8:44 am
ALL YOU PEOPLE THAT ARE WORRIED ABOUT HOW THEY MASTURBATE AND HAVE SEX ARE DISGUSTING ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE A CHILD LIKE THEM. ESPECIALLY YOU KYMMY. THESE GIRLS ARE AMAZING. THEY ARE INSPIRING. CONGRATS ON GETTING YOUR LICENSE GIRLS!! YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOURSELVES. KEEP UP THE GOOD SPIRIT!! .
March 26th, 2007 at 9:44 am
hey i just watched you celebrate your sixteenth birthday on TLC. I guess that was a year ago. I live in Espanola, New Mexico. I was amazed to see how you both coordinated your driving. i am seventeen and it was a challenge for me! thats awsome that you are both able to play softball. i play football. i would like to know you guys.
March 26th, 2007 at 12:04 pm
Hey little girl who said these young girls are Freaks. You are why they don’t like to let people know what is going on with them. These girls are outstanding young ladys.
March 27th, 2007 at 4:14 am
Those 2 girls are example to everyone.
life was not that great to them, but they knew how to turn thatb life to make better and happy
March 29th, 2007 at 7:58 pm
Girls you are an inspiration.

much love from spain
April 2nd, 2007 at 8:23 am
Hi my name is christina shipman and i saw the documentary of Abbey and brittany and i think that they are strong and ii certinly wouldn’t be able to carry around two heads on one body.
April 2nd, 2007 at 8:54 pm
They are so strong and wonderful and i wish they could be my friend we have a lot to learn from them their determination,their confidence.Good going girls.May God Bless you in every endeavor you do.
April 8th, 2007 at 8:44 am
Absolutely amazing!
The odds of this can’t be measured. I believe this is nothing short of a miracle. You have to wonder just what the Lord has in the works for for such a person(s) of two distinct personalities manifest in one physical creation. It goes to show, without a question, that nothing is impossible for God The Creator.
Only you know for sure what you feel emotionally and physically, whether as one or two.
I would guess that one does complete what the other says from time to time. As though each is aware of the others mind set. You are a unique soul, pushing the boundaries of life. One thing that needs to be answered is whether one became aware of the other and when did one learn the others name. If each are totally separate, what was your experience when you discovered each other? And at what age where you when first aware of a twin? Perhaps there is co-operation as one mind since we know there is one body, just developing two distinct flavors for things because of the two names given to each at birth giving each the belief of separation. So as far as they are concerned they have always been one in one body.Whereby, each preforming specifics for the body and spirit. However If the twins are completely separate in mind and identity, then one will give herself up to the other temporarily in respect for the others privacy.(that would mean any matter where privacy is needed). There is always agreement with one another and not in conflict. Since the left hand can’t slap the right. The separation is complete and honest. To ask some of the odd questions that are being asked by many of these posts, these are only curious and ridiculous.
The fact is… God created you! and you are a living soul like me and everyone else! Isn’t that worth celebrating? Be excited over the fact that you are set apart from others totally distinct and unique! Do you think God knows how to save his own? You Bet! And you are His!
Physically speaking, your private life should remain a mystery to others. That of which I pray you don’t share openly from the pressures of the curious seekers, but only to the one if or when you choose your significant other.
May our Great Father in Heaven bless you with a sea of blessing and always remain in faith in Him. Only He Himself will reveal openly what He has blessed you with. He does hears you in secret; so trust Him with a sea of faith! Look, listen and be wise! You are only one of you! AND Not ever to be duplicated again. So… be prosperous, live long and be healthy.
God Bless You and Be in You. Garth.
PS. I am an identical twin and we are mirror images of one another down to the wrinkle on our head. If we stand face to face, it’s as though we are looking back in a mirror. Everything is opposite like it is being reflected back
April 16th, 2007 at 9:45 pm
kymmy-rae you are the freak, you are so narrow minded .. Abbey and brittany are amazing, people should be like them, strong, determined and confident.. God bless you both and your family..
April 16th, 2007 at 10:40 pm
god’s creation are beautiful… to abigail and brittany .. may almighty father gives you a very strong faith in times of trials in life….
April 21st, 2007 at 12:01 am
More than anything I’m concerned about movement. Do they both control a leg? If so…doesn’t that get a bit confusing? Or does one controll both legs, and the other ones just along for the ride?
April 21st, 2007 at 8:58 am
Hey! so we think that its so awesome that you guys are living an almost normal life through one body! …. But just like many other people we were curious about a few things … and we hope they don’t offend you! …
If you have 3 lungs then does that mean you share one? or does one of you have 2 and the other has one? if you share one does that mean that one of you can go underwater and the other can stay over water and the one under water could still breathe????
We read that you share a nervous system … but both control your side of the body…. does that mean that you can feel whats happening on your sisters hand but can’t move it … or does it mean that you can’t feel, or move your sisters hand?
If one of you gets sick … does that automatically mean both of you are sick or just one?
At lunch do you both get your own lunch? or share one? do you have two stomachs???? … if so do you have to half as much????
Did you guys have 2 umbilical cords or just 1?? ( 2 belly buttons or one?)
Thanks were very interested… its so unique and amazing ….Connie and Shelby!
April 23rd, 2007 at 7:10 am
i’m writing a metaphysics paper on the girls and had some questions about them and didn’t know if anyone could answer them for me. i was wondering how the government treats them, as one person or two. as in how many social security numbers then how many bank accounts they have and say one if admitted to the hospital, how many people do they admit, one or two?
April 23rd, 2007 at 1:30 pm
i think its very wonderful about this joined life of theres. and all the questions about sex and marrage and relationships are not questions we need to ask. its there life we dicuse and there desitions to make. Im sure the two of them have already thought of these things and discused it for them selves and more than likely come up with there own conclusions on what they want to do. i would consider my self honered if i were to ever meet them and wish the two young woman Abi and Brittany all of Gods many blessing and my best wishes for the futer. to them i have only one thing to say. many people in this world suffer from a terable illness called lonelyness. its something youll never have to do and i hope you two sisters cherish each other . be strong and keep looking ahead to the futer, God bless you
April 24th, 2007 at 1:58 am
My thoughts and questions are philosophical, related to consciousness, in particular self consciousness. Although they each control one half of their body, can Abby and Brit share feeings along the midline and in particular the gut (intestines, liver, bladder)? The neural networks in the gut must contribute the extrodinary coordination possbile between these two. If there is pain in the gut do they both feel it? And could they possibly carry on without the other in the event of a tragedy? I see them as more than two individuals because they share such a deep understanding of the other through a shared experience. There’s no question that they are two people, but they also could be more than that, as they understand they other so intimately.
Some questions. How do they coordinate their movements, talking and reactions? Can one remain awake while the other doses?
April 25th, 2007 at 11:34 am
GOD BLESS THESE 2 ANGELS…..IF THEY WERE MINE…I’D LOVE THEM FOREVER….I AM SO TOUCHED BY THE SHOW I WATCHED….I WISH THESE 2 ANGELS WERE MINE!
MARK MESSORE
AS FAR AS THE TRASHBAG THAT CALLED THESE 2 BEAUTIFUL GIRLS FREAKS?….WHAT IF THEY WERE YOUR CHILDREN?…YOUR SISTERS??…..YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF….I PITY YOU …..YOU ARE SPINELESS AND WORTHLESS….GO TO CHURCH…ASK FOR FORGIVENESS!!….YOU NEED HELP…TRASH!
April 25th, 2007 at 9:37 pm
Brave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 27th, 2007 at 2:05 am

April 29th, 2007 at 6:31 am
Just watched their show on TLC….. I’m so amazed at how they’ve grown up so fast!! Last time I saw them, they were 12…… you girls are amazing, and I wish you the best in all you do!
April 30th, 2007 at 10:11 pm
i think they are very cool cause if that were you! you wouldint like it if they were mean to you!
but i think are vary nice and cool and very lucky cause some people coulent do that!
May 5th, 2007 at 3:37 am
to just imagine the obtacles these young ladies face everyday is amazing. it is truly inspiring that they could be so optimistic and yet have their own personalities and aspirations. they can serve as an example to all of us who say we can’t do something. they are truly amazing people,and their parents should be applauded for their support of both of their needs. I would be proud to call these young women my daughters.
May 9th, 2007 at 8:00 pm
I would love to meet these brave girls and their wonderful loving parents! I believe that God has a great plan for their lives. I am touched by the story aend truly wish them all the very best in life.
May 10th, 2007 at 5:06 am
its so amazing to see the world in ways you wouldnt imagine, the girls just amaze me really, what ever it may seem but they are God’s wonderful and amazing creation…where we should know God is God. look at how they live, seeing the documentary at first i had my head full of questions and still others were coming in, then well, i thought ‘may the girls be blessed all times and live longer, proving the love of our creator to whom everything is possible’. so guys with too many mind we are not gon stop wondering, better if you join me wishing Abby and Bri all the best an their life!
May 12th, 2007 at 6:56 pm
Abby and Brittany…you’re both a miracle. I truly admire how you see and handle things. My prayers are with you. Kymmy-rae…how could you say such a hurtful word. What would you do if someday you would be a parent to a conjoined twins? What would you say then? Would you call your children freaks as well? Remember KARMA.
May 12th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
Abby and britty, pls may God continue to bless you both. how i wish i could meet you.
May 16th, 2007 at 6:39 am
To the people who think of these girls as freeks , That is just what the world has brainwashed you to believe , they may not look the same as you but to them your different.. I think them as just 2 litte girls the lord made , and they have a role to play in all of ours lives . and the test is how we go forth of treating them ..thier a gift that alot of people cant respect . they want to live a NORMAL life . whats normal these days , whats the right way to look .
May 19th, 2007 at 6:15 am
Hi.. I just wanted to say that I just learned about Abby and Brittany and I found it so amazing I didn’t want to go to school.. I just wanted to stay at computer and learn about them.. Its so amazing how they got their drivers license. ABBY AND BRITTANY YOU TWO ARE SO AMAZING!@… I do not consider you freaks.. (excuse me for even saying that hurtful word) I consider you to be two people with a slightly different inside..(3 kidneys, 3 lungs..etc) CONGRATS ON DRIVERS LICENSE.. if you two were my own, Id love and care for you as though you were twins.. Sorry if this seems a little hurtful.
CONGRATS FROM CALIFORNIA

July 2nd, 2007 at 11:01 am
Those girls are incredible. I am wondering if both or one of them feel when they need to go potty because they share a pelvis, reproductive organs and bladder. I am not trying to be disrespectful in any way….just really curious. God Bless Them!!!

U 2 ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats all i can really say!!!!!!
July 18th, 2007 at 8:59 pm
They are not so unique in fact, you know. There are people like this. I`ve read about two other women just like them. They were born in Russia in 1950, died in 2003. Their mother got mad, and they had mental problems themselves, and lived in hospitals, and were not very happy.
I wish Abbey and Brittany just a normal happy life, as happy and normal as it has been up to now.
They`ll cope.
July 31st, 2007 at 12:31 pm
Ab and Brit strike me as great girls who live like any other young women. They may share a body, but they are two people as they have different prsonalities and tastes.They do well in accomodating one another as they have to do alot of daily functions and activities togethr.In many ways they seem lke identical twins who do not share a body even tho they do.Of course I do wonder if it will be hard when it comesto college, carreers, having kids,marriage ect. How does one handle one liking one food while the other hates it or visa versa? Do they ever feel they are invading one anothers privacy? I think thier parents are great people and Abby and Brittany are very pretty young women.I wish them the best in everything!
August 8th, 2007 at 11:11 am
I actually met these girls at a conference recently. They seemed really nice.
August 20th, 2007 at 4:05 pm
if conjoined at the pevlis.. 1 vagina.. so only 1 can feel it?
September 3rd, 2007 at 4:16 am
I enjoyed the programme on television very much.abby and brittany are two very cool girls.
September 10th, 2007 at 1:02 pm
They are both very foxy! And im sure they will find ONE guy they both will love!
September 11th, 2007 at 7:04 am
Why the hell would anyone want to leave a comment about a 16 year old girl referring to them as “freaks”??Kimmy you are an insensitive bitch and you need to get your facts str8 before you open you mouth and make yourself look even more ignorant! They can not help the fate they have been dealt..but they clearly are way above you level in more ways then one.And ugh Scott you are a perv..another find example of whats in todays world!!
September 11th, 2007 at 9:49 am
To Ab and Brit, congrats on getting your liscenses. It is amzing what you have achieved and what you will achieve in the future. I’m not one to ask questions of a personal. Nor would be i inclined to follow entertainment media about you. I’ll say thanks for doing what you’re doing, and please continue being proud of your selves!!!!!!
Take care and god bless you, Ross
September 12th, 2007 at 5:33 am
….girls…I really wish you to have the gratest life experience and to reach all of your -seperate- dreams…
September 13th, 2007 at 1:46 am
You girls are so amazing. I watched the show and continued smiling as I saw all that you can do and you don’t let anything stop you.
I credit your parents for all they have done through the years and they too should be applauded.
I do hope some of the people writing their comments will think before they post what they write. I can’t believe some of the inappropriate and personal things people are saying.
Abby and Brittany, may you continue to live life to the fullest !! You both deserve it !
September 14th, 2007 at 3:13 am
Abby and Brittany are amazing! they’re both so pretty. (: i’d love to meet them one day, i think i’d get along greta with both of them especially since we’re the same age. =) i have a lot of respect for them.
September 14th, 2007 at 3:15 am
Abby and Britt are gorgeous. They are truly amazing human beings. I wish them all the best, and i hope to meet them one day. Good luck in everything, girls! You’re an inspiration. I think everyone can lear a thing or two from Abby and Brittany Hensel.
September 14th, 2007 at 6:09 am

September 17th, 2007 at 8:25 am
When they say so-and-so is the “left” twin and the other is the “right”, do they mean my left or their left?
September 22nd, 2007 at 11:51 am
You girls are 2 of the stongest and bravest girls in the country! You should be so proud of yourself which as strong willed and independent as you are you are proud. Your parents should be commended for the wonderful job they are doing! good for you and them! Enjoy your lives. I have no questions because what happens with the 2 of you is private. I wouldn’t want you asking me questions about my life. I respect you for that. Keep doing what your doing! You are ambassadors to the world for your inspiration and courage! Go Hansel Twins

I recently viewed the documentary on the twins, They are two extraordinary young ladies. I take my hat off to their family, friends and teachers that have totally aborbed the twins in their everyday lives. You both are truly amazing!

Everyone keeps saying life dealth them a difficult card, or what a rough break. Anyone ever stop to think that they are blessed, and happy to be together? Maybe they see it is a prize with many rewards rather than a trial they have to work at.

I saw the program about these two young ladies and was very impressed with the sensitive
portrayal of them. They are simply amazing! As for the very rude remark by “Kymmy-rae” - before you call others “FREAKS!” - you should look in a mirror!!!

I, as many other people, am just astonished at how amazing these two young women are. All of the questions on this topic are compeling. One thing I have to say about many of these comments is this: Though these girls deserve just as much privacy as they desire, as do we all, the comments pertaining to their intimacy issues should not be censored. When people lose their curiousity they also lose thier ambiton to learn. As humans we all must learn. . . this much is certain in a world seeming much too random and, at times, extremely unfair. When we lose that all-too-important drive to quest for knowledge, we start to die. So, though you may take offense to certain questions and comments, keep your mind open. Not all these posters are degenerates and “sicko’s” they are simply curious and expanding their view of the world. On the other hand, posters like “Kymmy-rae” should keep their misguided and ignorant opinions to theirselves. Back to the topic of Brit and Abbey: amazing! I hope to come across them someday in my travels through the world!
By the way, a book I read recently tackles some of the same issues of confidence and diversity as well as adversity while at the same time utilizing a stunnly visual storyline told as a fantasy fic novel. It’s called KEEPERS OF THE LOST STAR STONES from dustyroadpublishing.com. It fits well with these topics.

is this thread still active? yeah i read that book Keepers. It was really funny too and great imagination. plus you cant beat that part of the money goesw to childrens charitys. I bout a copy for my bro on amazon. Kyle; is it cheaper on dustyroadpublishing.com?

I would feel so, so awkward if I were them if people go up to them and tell them what an inspiration they are and how they want to be their friend.
Not that they’re not amazing. Just reading over these comments make me think you’re all a bunch of weirdos. You all say “Treat them just like you would anybody else!” but.. hello. If you’re going to cross the street (not to stare, but to ‘greet them, individually, of course), you’re still not treating them normally, imho.
What’s worse is those of you that say “OH I WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND.” .. awkward.
Anyway. They seem cool and their story is amazing. Best of luck.

There is one thing I know for sure: Abby and Brittany are very choice daughters of our Heavenly Father. They were created in the spirit world as two distinct individuals, and their spirits entered their mother’s womb as two seperate beings. Even though it was only because of a glitch in their fetal developement that they were not able to split apart and gain their own independant earthly bodies, they certainly knew that this was to be their fate even before they were conceived - and they were brave enough and strong enough to accept it. They are beautiful young women, and are truly loved by their Heavenly Father. And I know that after their lives on this earth has ended they will spend eternity in their own, perfectly-formed seperate bodies. They are truly blessed.

Thank-you Abby and Britty.
I just watched a program about you and feel indebted to you for giving me an insight . There are many people who live their lives through others, eg. obsessed about soaps on TV. and celebrities, yet you manage to live 2 very intertwined lives emerging as 2 very separate individuals with your own unique personalities
I am sure the fact that you kept medical and other examination to a minimum empowered you both so that you have grown up deciding you are able to do whatever you put your minds to, don’t anticipate future events , and make decisions when and if they are required.
I think you would be a wonderful inspiration to children having different lives to the norm, and hope you continue to consider working with them. Good luck, love and kindest regards, sai x

I just watched them on TLC.
I’d love to meet them or at least talk to them.
It isn’t something that happens all the time, especially living and living normally like that.
They’re extremely lucky and both cute girls.
AND seem like they drive better than some of us,
haha took me 2 tries before my liscense!
November 26th, 2007 at 1:16 pm
Just got done watching your show. You two girls are absolutely beautiful! I saw a program when you were 12 and was simply amazed at how grown up you both are now.
Wishing you both the best of luck in everything you do. You are both an inspiration to those around you!

don’t be too hard on
kymmy-rae
it was a self descriptive comment

abbey and brittany both have a highly developed form of team work and social skills most of us take for grantit. if anything we should be learning from that example. both of them are in good health and are diong the best they can in an unforgiving world and should be respected as such. we never know why mother nature throws us a curve ball like this but i can say one thing for sure we must be thankfull for what we do have “indipendance being one of them”. as for abbey and brittany they have to always be considerate to eachother which includes not jeprodising each others saftey or health or even getting oneanother into trouble. they have to be accountable to eachother until the day they die, thats the kind of comitments they have to ballance. both of these girls are very good looking and would make an interesting date and interesting wives. in respect to the law in the case of marrage the law will have to bend to the will of the diversity of there situation and honour there wishes, if it was the will of god for them to be this way they shall also have gods blessing in matramony.

Just watched this docu on French television. I am very impressed about the positive atitude of these 2 wonderful girls. I admire them highly, they are a role model for so many people, so are their parents.
About the reaction from kymmy-rae, this guy must be retarded.
December 3rd, 2007 at 11:22 pm
no one will ever live long enough to see what god has in store but just long enough to be loved god bless you both ek on kar. (G) lol

Heyy , Im fifteen and i live in florida , i think its really cool how you two are . And i hate how people discriminate you because the way you were born , you didnt make it that way and you cant do anything about it . Im sure it is embarrassing at first , and people need to learn to deal with it , because its your life and you only live once , so live it to the fullest . Dont waste time caring what others think , because you cant change yourself , so you`d be better off happy then sulking around the rest of your life , Plus you have a lifelong partner , who you can tell ANYTHING to , because your right there to know if they spill your secrets !

Hey girls. I am originally from Kenya, studying in the U.S hitherto. I’ll be brief, I think your story is quite inspirational. You love each other and sacriffice for each other. I love you all. My desire and hope is to have an audience with you one of these fine days, so that I may have the privillage to give you a person to person acknowledgement.
Thank you and may you be blessed in all that you do.

I do wish I could ask them one question. If they have kids later on, how will they decide whose child it is?
