Silvia and Roel, a couple from Texas, conceived identical triplets without the use of fertility treatments — a rare occurrence that happens to only one in a million new moms. Having three identical babies is already a challenging miracle all in itself, but when these three baby girls — Catalina, Ximena and Scarlett — were born at 34 weeks, the world was shocked to learn why these girls are so extraordinary.
You see, Ximena and Scarlett are conjoined at the pelvis, while Catalina was born separately, and all three babies are identical. The chances of this unusual birth are 1 in 50 million! "God chose us for a reason, to take care of them," Roel told ABC affiliate KIIITV. "So it's a big blessing for us."
In a major development — when the girls turned five months old — Silvia announced Ximena and Scarlett are scheduled to undergo separation surgery in January of 2016. In the meantime, Silvia and Roel have been posting updates about their precious triplets on Facebook. They say they will love their children the same, conjoined or not.
These babies are a true medical miracles, and we're praying for a successful surgery. Please SHARE their amazing story with your friends on Facebook.
