TWIN sisters who once shared a body are now thriving after being separated. Erika and Eva Sandoval, 6, are formerly conjoined twins from California. When they were born, they were connected from the bottom rib cage to the pelvis, sharing a third leg. With only a 30% chance of survival, Aida, the girls’ mum, decided the risk of delivering the twins worth it.

Anyone else hit the floor when that little one legged girl stood up and KICKED THE BALL?! Jesus that strength!
I was so astonished when I saw that. She just stood up no problems so quickly perfect balance and kicked the ball with the SAME FOOT no problemo. I replayed that like 4 times, they've adapted to well! Amazing!
Man these girls will go places!!! 🙌🏾I am and forever will be pro life no matter the situation or circumstance. You don’t know how that child can become a blessing to you 😅
@@lilyankay2116 yeah I'm pro life no matter the disability it doesn't make them any less of a person
literally made the :o face
why do you have to cal her that little one legged girl....sounds rude
“I want to play basketball like Kobe Bryant”
Omg I cried
Lord please protect and watch over these angels and their family and friends
I love you
She can play and also join the para olympics .
It’s kinda sad that he died 😭
Kobe cheated on Vanessa before
Mili bože ti si snaga i utjeha budi ovim anđelima i obitelji u pomoći amen
It's good to see that the twins aren't dressed as clones like most twins are. They are truly treated as individual, independent personalities.
Hm
I’m a twin and I like dressing the same as my sister (sometimes when we were younger we didn’t) though I don’t really like it when people call us “clones” of each other ,and I find it a bit offensive, when we dress the same because we still gave our own individual personalities, still you make a fair point it shows that they are treated more like individuals even better.
Eggs-actually
it's also nice the mother let's them pick their clothes
Yes!!! I never understood why anyone would dress twins exactly the same,to force others to see them as a pair, instead of individuals.
Very inspiring. As a parent of a severely brain damaged child, I can sincerely understand why some people might make the decision to terminate a pregnancy or to accept their disabilities. These girls are lovely and their Mom is special.
Mealegro mucho qe salio bien las dos
stay strong 💕sending love
Wishing you the best in life and nothing less. Stay strong and I'm proud of you for being such a great parent. Wishing you and your child all the happiness and nothing less. ❤️
Mom did the right thing. They're beautiful and already so determined.
Yes and shes also strong because they said that she could have died if she had them
@@jovianjohnson3970 yes, I can't imagine how scary it must have been, waiting for the surgery to end 😢
Yeah but imagine if you lost them in the surgery🥺 but I’m so glad they are fine now
@@nestleeprim5223 rđd
She definitely did!!
Just because someone is different, doesn't mean they have any less right to live!
Exactly!! How boring this world would be if we were all the same!!
Yea, they aren even black...
@@darkodjordjevic2789 what does that have to do with this?
@@darkodjordjevic2789 Can I ask why you brought that up
No one is gonna date those 2 what a waste of birth
I just can’t stop crying. You did such a great decision. The two girls are absolutely beautiful and smart. Wish them an happy life and full of joys ❤️❤️❤️
Such bravery in a mom. Reaching out to the world letting them know what she is going through. That's amazing. What spirit these beautiful girls have. Hold your head high. Bless you all.
When she stood up on one leg like that and kicked the soccer ball I was shook. I did not expect that. She's got better balance on one leg than I do with two.
Ikr
#Fact
Lol
They bounce along the floor faster than I can walk. Gorgeous girlies.
I am so impressed by how fast they move!!!
deborah gate
Dido it’s crazy but adorable
I am happy for them after a lot of time waiting to be separate
Don't they! So quick awsome girls x
Same
They have been smiling from the whole video, they're so positive it's amazing, so cute 🥺
The people, who question why they were brought into the world, are the ones who shouldn’t be in the world. That may be harsh, but that’s how I feel.
Yeah, its one thing to question her about it while she is pregnant, but while she has these two beautiful girls standing next to her and thriving-
Its absolutely inappropriate to be saying stuff like that when they are doing great and they are smiling and laughing and just happy.
Lol yup
You're absolutely right because of that kind of creatures this world isn't beautiful it should be
@@quackity3343 It's not a good thing to question her when she was pregnant either.
She said she wanted to play basketball like Kobe Bryant 🥺edit : if people keep fighting I think I might just delete this comment so you guys can stop but then again I might not so yea. Bye have nice day♥️
I know I almost cried! But what amazing little girls!
Yes I was emotional to... They are sweet
😭
Sweet but she need realistic goal to work on
@@lisamir9937 you're part of the problem with this world. Who are you to tell a child to not follow their dreams?! That's just crazy to me!
Saudi Arabia is one of the best places in the world to go to for separation of conjoined twins. They did many of these operations over the past two decades for children from all over the world and, as far as I know, they do it for free for poor people.
For parents who have conjoined twin and willing to separate them, I suggest contacting the Saudi embassy in their home country.
Amazing advancements in medical science happen over there, so many passionate doctors
That's wonderful
Wow wish moms with conjoined twins can know this info thanks for sharing
I lived in Saudi 18 years ago and worked in media. I made a
big programme
then about separating two
conjoined
twins.
Its because lots of people there get married to their cousins so it produces children with deformities.
God bless doctors which gave them a new life and Congratulations to this mother who decided it can be possible
Kisses for all!!💖💖💖💓
They look so happy. And that what is important.
“I want to play basketball just like Kobe Bryant”
Omg the tears have started

i was just about to say that 😭😭😭

What happened?
@@inakirf9568 wdym what happened? You didn't hear?!
Dont talk about this here.i support him but this video isnt about him its about his girls
@@pleaseignorethisismyoldaccount no sorry TwT
@@littlebillie5449 well you have a point
I'm disgusted to know there are people out there that asked this woman why she brought her babies into this world. That's insane. I wish them all the best they look very smart and eager to learn haha which is so cute and the mother looks just so supportive and I can see she would do anything for them so they can have the best lives. And they will. Love xoxo
@ppjosdet
I am disgusted by you passively aggressively hating-trolling here on social media.
@@anatheistmyself LIKE WHAT ? WHEN YOU MAKE ACCUSATIONS YOU BETTER SAY YOUR FULL OPINION. OR THE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE IS ACTUALLY YOU!
@@ppjosdet1292
Where are you located? I suggest we meet at a Starbucks or some other public place where everyone can witness our actual verbal fighting match - on this topic. Any questions?
@@anatheistmyself how about you say where you live hahahahaahha you think I'll say to a fake profile where I live lol you must be insane. Let's make a video, live video, why to go to a Starbucks to talk lol you scared or something or you violent and wanna meet in person to beat me up hahahhahahahahhaaha.
@Jade Chen
How are they "trolling and being rude" have to heard of using your brain?
Beautiful girls. Precious.
Amazing mother. You deserve to be proud of yourself and those girls.
Someone seriously asked why she brought them into the world?! Why would you not! They are perfect human beings. So they're missing a leg... who isn't missing something whether physical or emotional.
Those who ask that have no brain nor heart. Still their mom brought them into the world.
Look, I don't know if you noticed, but their legs are not exactly normal, and their lives will be very hard, specially in the adolescence. I'm sorry for them ... God is a prankster indeed.
Pablo Stefano so there life will be hard not miserable do u see how happy those girls are? And u still question the choice to let them live??!!!
They where born different :3
@Grant Casiño She just said life will be harder for them and that it wont be completly normal which is true.
These girls are smart, beautiful, articulate and they will go far in this world. Nothing can stop them ❤
Who the hell asks a mother why did you bring your children into this world?
If I were to be born without a leg. Which affects my lifestyle, school, function, safety, relationship statues, asthetics, disability statue . When I get bullied or discriminated, when boys I like refuse to go out with me, I'll ask my mom why did she bring me to the world like this. I don't know if i ll still consider myself lucky to be born, or that I am unlucky to be born this way, with one leg less than most people around me and health complications. I have to make that up with a stronger mind and bear the pain. Its unfair
We have the same name!
ALOT of people. Even to mothers of regular children. You see, there is this toxic group out there who are child free for "virtuos" reasons and they believe everyone else should be too. Something about the world being a terrible place to grow up in and humans being bad for the environment so you shouldnt keep breeding
If you never seen this

@@lisamir9937 people with disabilities are much more grateful that you could obviously ever be and are much stronger both physically and mentally than both of us. you keep underestimating these people for no reason in every single comment and for what? what did you achieve? I've seen disabled people do amazing things in their life and achieve way more than people without any disabilities. wanna know why? because they believed in themselves and they knew they could do it. and they didn't let people like you make them believe they couldn't. i hope you never cross paths with a disabled person with that negative energy of yours. although you could learn a thing or two from them.
A lot of respect for her mom for being brave and persistent in growing her children ❤️❤️
they are so pretty little happy kids, they are angels so perfect just the way they are!
I love their little personalities! They are so dang adorable. And what an amazing mom!
@Im am lol lolipop I was about to cry?
😀😁😂🤣😃😄😅😆😉😋😋😎
Тпбптабатабат
Yeah, what an amazing mum.
She has a heart of gold.
God bless her!!!
@@satpaldhiman9245 what
These little girls are so adorable and their story very touching
I wish a lot of happiness to them and their family ❤️
Amen
Yes AMEN 😊🦋
Amen sister
In the Almighty name of Jesus Amen
They are absolutely gorgeous and so full of fun. I love that they are different in personality and have no doubt that they will achieve whatever they put their minds to. Go girls!
Pretty girls with so much to love to give and most likely can help others with similar issues! Great parenting! So proud of you all!
4:50 when she said she wanted to play basketball like kobe i started tearing up 😭💗
cakeEe aHhH oh no 😭
This is making me cry
I wish she had a woman role model. Nobody knows about women basketball players, while the men are superstars.
I’m happy she did bring them into this world. (Anyone who questions that should just ask why they are here) they are absolutely beautiful girls!!
Um I haven’t seen a comment saying other wise
@@Watcher413 I've seen plenty
I am. I am questioning why anyone of us are here. If you ask parent why they had kids, you'll get some sort of selfish reason. I have yet to hear a reason to have kids that wasn't selfish. When the kid(s) is disabled, it makes it even more ethically wrong. There was no reason why they should live. Or any of us should.
@Havrefrasss This is the reason we’re still alive ruclips.net/video/V-_O7nl0Ii0/видео.html
@@havrefrasss dude , you have your own uterus, don't decide over other people , you're not the one raising a baby, also, some people have to have babies in order for the human race to continue geeeez. I get people who are child free and all that but like thinking someone is selfish for having a baby? It's like saying oh you're selfish coz you're not vegan and do not eat 100% organic you're polluting and killing the earth and how dare you get a cellphone do you know how lithium is mined?
coming from and raised by a mom like you, they can and will achieve anything they want. they have each other and you. they are blessed. kudos to you.
They are so lucky to have a mom like you!
Makes me really mad when people have the audacity to question a parents reason for bringing kids with chronic conditions/differences into the world. They have as much right to live as anyone else. Just look at these gorgeous girls, with their bold personalities and own ways of adapting. I think they're amazing!!
When someone says “why did you bring them to this world?” I just wonder why you thought it was ok or a good idea for you to ask that. Jeez
It's always a good idea to ask that to anyone who has kids. The answer is always for a selfish reason. I have yet to hear a reason to have kids that wasn't selfish. If we are not critical to these things that society deems as "normal" or even "good", we can't have a real discussion about ethics. I personally think she made the wrong choice, especially because she knew her daughters would have a tougher life than most of us.
@@havrefrasss No ma'am. It's very unnecessary to interject yourself into someone else's business, uninvited with rude and invasive questions and judgments. If you're not helping, it's BEST to just mind your own business.
@Dzsamila # How is *_slavery_* in any way, shape, or form related to this??
@@havrefrasss I don't get how that is any of your business, regardless.
@@havrefrasss everything people do is for selfish reasons, including looking down one's nose in self righteous indignation at people who made different life choices.
So beautiful and cute these twins! ❤ They're lucky to have such love and support from their family and friends.
A mother's love is like no other and this is such a great example ❤
The mum must be so proud of her beautiful girls.
when she said “ i wanna play basketball just like kobe bryant” that broke my heart they are so amazing
What a loving and devoted mom.. Your girls are beautiful and very fortunate to have a family like yours..💜
They are both such beautiful girls 💕 what a miracle these girls are! They are so lucky to be born to parents who love and support them! This is such a beautiful story. I cannot imagine how hard this must be for the girls and their parents, and yet they seem to be beating odds and thriving. So many prayers and so much love to this family! You made the right decision to bring these girls into the world they are a beacon of light and hope!
I’m so HAPPY for them and this mum is one AMAZING mother!!
The mom made great decision and they seems so happy, yet I am curious on how they successfully separated them with only one bladder.
I was wondering about the same thing
One will likely be catheterised
Yes me too and how is that going to work..
Im confused but does one not use the potty? I Thought that’s not even possible to survive?
Like what goes in.. must come out... idk.. but I’m happy that they are okay!
@@ghadaj3125 People can live without a bladder, with a urostomy or false bladder made from part of the intestine. These girls each have part of the bladder but the details weren't discussed. ruclips.net/video/_4DW9C4mLqc/видео.html
Think i saw in another video that they halved the bladdee
Oh my... they are precious, Different but definitely strong and smart. I hope them and their family a life full of love,happiness and success!
Two very sweet little humans, who we all hope will have a wonerful life ! You are doing a lovely job mum !
wow, that mom is just so amazing. she cares and loves the girls so much
SUCH A STRONG MOMA
-GIVING THE GIRLS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF STRENGTH 💪🏽
That's an attitude of a wonderful Mother.
Kudos Mommy.
She is really an inspiration
Love the way she makes sure,they grow into amazing strong girls.
OMG I feel so bad 😭 they are so playful and they don’t give up god please protect them they have done so well so far
Awww so cute I just wanna give them so many kisses. Happy Belated Birthday Eva and Erica you are loved by millions❤️💜
They deserve to be in this world just as much as anyone else..❤️
I'm so glad the girls are here and doing well. They are like pure gold. I personally would be proud to have 2 little ones like them. Godbless your family and I'm positive they will do great things .
So glad you decided to bring them in this world! They were meant to be here❤❤❤
Can you imagine someone questioning why you were brought into the world because you have one leg? Damn, I’m a human?
They're so cute ❤️ and such a supportive, great mother!
Lovely personalties these girls have! Amazing how a positive attitude can make all the difference! This video should shown in every schools around the world!
A very touching story and a brave Mummy. Well done and good luck to the twins for their future! Remain strong and you are a good family.🙏👍🎉🎉👯♥️
Im glad they aren’t dressed alike. That bothers me when twins are dressed the same. I’m not sure why.
I'm a twin myself and was dressed identically to my twin since birth until before we headed into middle school. My aunt begged my mom to stop dressing us the same as she could never tell us apart, and she also wanted us to grow into our own identities (I'm super grateful for this). When I reached high school, I asked my mom about this, and she said she thought it was cute, so that's definitely one reason I think parents dress twins alike. The other reason I've heard is that it saves on money, but I'm not so sure thinking about it now why it would save more money than buying another set of clothing.
Allison Tran super valid. I always wondered about the whole own identities and own self thing. So thank you for touching upon that. I also want to make it clear I don’t think it’s a bad thing I just think it’s personally not one of my “likes” but to each their own.
@@Snoopyvalentine As a twin myself, I personally don't really agree with dressing twins, triplets etc, in identical clothing. I somewhat agree it's cute, but being through it myself, I find it kind of annoying if that makes any sense.
@The Aussie Family I've done it. My daughter is six and loves to dress like mama. My son and I had matching shoes for years. For us it's bonding. They love me, and want to be like me. I figure that means I'm doing something right.
@Juana Torres I'm just going to say this: growing up as a twin who was dressed the same, I really wished I had that choice of getting to choose what I wanted to wear. Now, when I go shopping for clothes, I don't know what to choose for myself. Maybe if I'd been given the option to grow into my own identity earlier, I wouldn't have this problem, so, agree to disagree.
it was a huge, brave decision. the girls deserve their separate lives and thank goodness for everyone’s survival, including you mama
You did right to bring these beautiful little girls into the world. God has great plans for you and then. Blessings to you and your family. 💖
I can't see their disability. I only see their cuteness.. They are so Pretty 🥺🥺❤️
When the little girl said :When i grow up i wanna be like Kobe bryan..it made my heart melt😖☺The mom is right though just because u r different doesn't mean u r not stronger😳💖
💗💜💙💚
Everyone is different
@@teddyblushmovies okay???
@@millyyxss lol
@@teddyblushmovies lol
I cant imagine why someone would question their birth. Everyone deserves a chance at life.. No matter the difficulties you may face along the way.
Your girls are amazing, they seem so happy, every human has the right to come to this world, I congratulate you! God bless this family.
You made the right thing to bring them to the world. May God bless each and every step they make. They are absolutely wonderful. So smart than most of us. Thank you mom. I just love you so much. You are an amazing parents. Stay blessed always.
Patching the eye when I was a child resulted in my eyes never working together. I also had surgery to tighten the muscles but it didn't help. Please make sure they are getting supplementary exercises.
Yes -- I have issues with my eyes working together properly and I'm doing visual processing therapy. It is exactly what it sounds like she needs. Hope they discover that route. You do need to strengthen the weak eye and patching is part of it, but there's way more to it. Ofc we only see a snippet in this video.
I have issues with my body I guess
I also wore an eye patch, it wasn’t successful, but thankfully surgery was
They came into this world to be happy little girls! We love you!!!
Lol
How wonderful great personalities and carry on like any other children . Wish them the best possible future and happiness . God love them and what a wonderful mother’s .
🤗🤗♥️
You're a strong mother raising your two sweet little beautiful girls even they're born different. Glad they individually can do their things happily and still moving around themselves. Dont know why didnt mention the girls father but anyhow hope all good blessings and best for you'll, that move well for these two sweeties. I believed when they both grow up older, they will know more better in their lives...
