[qwertyhomieZ]

I get all the positivity and yes they are bright and adorable...but what if one of them falls in love? It will never be the same as a one on one relationship. No matter how many of these I watch I know it must be weird for at least one person involved.

[ResemeeC]

They are adorable and all of you that are being negative should just stop and dont think about how they will feel when they are older but how they feel now because the are beautiful healthy girls who are obviously happy with their lives!

[LyricsMaker458]

They're so beautiful!

[LyricsMaker458]

They're ADORABLE! you definitely made the right decision by keeping them! you are great parents!

[geno2k3]

The X-Men have arrived.

[DK3CHAMP]

Wow, so telepathy does exist in some form!

[Gaaraissomineforever]

the parents look like morons

[kishala98]

okay any one who has rude comments go fuck yurselves ive known this family for years even before the twins were born they are good people... and those little girls can walk talk jump and even run..and they are just so cute and nice if they know u they come up to u and give u a hug just like any regular little kid! if u have any rude opinions keep them to yurselves! if u were in that situation only then do u have the right to say you wouldnt give birth to them...but since yur not STFU!!!

[hurricania]

Omg! That is just precious!

[aimeeaaa2]

@cutelibs27 okay that was a bit disturbing... but for your question I don't know but either: a: there are those other conjoined twins called brittany and hailey or something and they said that if one died the other would to.. Or they would make a surgury to remove the other one if this was the case. but ugh how horrible would that be.

[HepburnFlicks]

What a selfish mother. Does she honestly believe they are going to enjoy life conjoined?! Not only that but they can read each others minds!! They can't even think without the other hearing her thoughts! Very sad... this is one of the reasons i am pro-choice...

[carolinepaj]

@HepburnFlicks Of course they can enjoy their life! They're healthy now and who knows if they will live their entire lives combined? She's not selfish for giving them life. The only people who are selfish in a story like this are the ones who don't give her a CHOICE to abort or not.

[Sidhu03]

@HepburnFlicks how the hell is she selfish? id like to see you as a mom decide to take the life of one the daughters you gave birth to and raised. For the rest of you making jokes... nothing about this is funny and you cant even begin to joke about it. Grow the fuck up you losers and think about how you would feel if those were your daughters

[Jonasgomezlovato1231]

@HepburnFlicks The mother isnt selfish. She doesnt wanna risk one of the girls lives just to seperate them. She made the right choice. 

[cutelibs27]

What would happen if one died? Then the other one would have to walk arond with a dead body? I'm not being rude, I'm just wondering!

[xvlk77n]

wowzers



[jeslynnae]

@yoursocoollike me too!! it was hilarious

[superchick017]

Congrats mother for fucking over to kids lives

[moosetracksicey]

aww

[MUFFLA95]

CONGRATS TO THE MOTHER..... FOR NOT TERMINATING THE PREGNANCY

[fhallon13]

@MUFFLA95 haha

[N8moto]

It's Herp and Derp!

[spear211]

@yoursocoollike holy fuck me too..

[Bubble74257]

Amazing.

[AFROMANFAN]

How the hell did they get those T-shirts on? O.o

[imakecandytoo]

@AFROMANFAN im guessing that they have the girls step into the shirt and pull it up.

[laramiet011]

Aw, their just the cutest little things EVA

[whypas]

I can't imagine the strain on their necks. ouchies.

[ByJustified]

I just want to tell the mom that you made the right choice to allow them to live. I salute you for taking care of your kids and for loving them for who they are. Krista and Tatiana deserve to see this world that we live in. I don't care if there are people out there who will degrade them for their condition. As long as there is a loving mother who will continue to encourage Krista and Tatiana then that is enough. May the Lord use their life to encourage parents and children around the world.

[MrCath5y]

For God so loved the world.....This is how powerful He is. and for us who were too busy to do earthly things.... think again. And have nerve to love the world not just yourselves.

[sexysister345]

i think the mom pulls the shirts up from the feet i do that with my cuz since she goot surgery on the head

[kbing1100]

I'm not trying to be mean, but how did the mom get a shirt on them that's not button up? My son has a huge head and I have a hard time with shirts for him. I can only imagine what it's like for them......

[doglover651]

omg my name is krista

kbye

[Gen3ralxPoTaTo]

Im not trying to be rude or anything, but if one thought of something could they other read her mind?

[JustinBieberFeverxo]

@yoursocoollike OMG ME TOO :D lmfao

[ohcmeon]

@BowToMySkill Who are you to give anyone permission to live? What do YOU know about being conjoined? They seem happy and it's certainly better to be conjoined and alive rather than dead.

[SNORKLER100]

@yoursocoollike Jesus....me too.

[TheTheblackhats]

@yoursocoollike hahahaha me too!

[vTronz]

it may seem not normal or uncomfortable to us, but not to them cause they were bron like that, so it will seem normal to them, so its not bad.

[Austie420]

@yoursocoollike fuckin me 2! that was waked!

[darkeniston123]

hot guy at 0:45! <3

[MrBaseballfan11]

@darkeniston123 where?

[SiomaraBieber]

@darkeniston123 thats a girl fucking idiot, and it shouldnt matter either -_-

[shelblovestosing]

@GiannaForRealz No, that isn't what I meant. I was honestly wondering what would happen.

[linyuwen]

@yoursocoollike me too!!

[sothatswhathapppened]

Felicia....do you see why not to smoke meth when you're pregnant.

[Thegamingguru65]

its almost like that movie avatar where they could move the animals and stuff with the neural connection.

[LaughOutLoud7773]

@yoursocoollike haha the crazy cat lady wanted cats in a basket on a rainbow ROFL.

[ayoungfly13]

awh, they are truley beautiful. what little meracles <3

[desenagrator]

WTF?!?

[JonasBruun14]

Fuck it must hurt when she jumped :-O!



[pickelover98765]

omg that is crazy  but there kinda cute

<3

[purplesoupforthesoul]

wow :o

[JermskiB]

Wow. Thats amazing. I wonder how far their non-verbal communication will develop.

[Lupi1234]

during birth: "i can see the head! oh. oh? OH!"

[ChristaBoo3562]

@Lupi1234 not funny ,

[Sam3pwns]

wtf who would be so much of a douche to dislike this video

(except maybe the dad)

[mpmeghna]

I wonder how birth went for the mom..

[Chaoitcme]

@mpmeghna I imagine that it was done by a c-section. There is no way that the vagina would be able to expand that much.

[ZedXIV]

decent

[musiclover5655]

these little survivors are amazing!

[ksunshine217]

I think the mother is doing a really great job raising them!

[nitelifestyle]

I don't know if I'd want to live if I were in their shoes.

[KennBosak]

omg tht sux. . someone fix them !

[Sandrine989897]

Je suis vraiment désoler pour ses petites filles, personne ne devrait subir sa... Mais je me pose qu'une seule question, comment la mère a pu accoucher de ses petites filles la...

[afgwonga123]

Good luck to them in the future :)

<33333

[holdmySWIG]

They can see with eachothers eyes, thats a pretty awesome super power!

[FanArtHunter1]

wow :S

[sup3rs0nik]

oh my god that would be so frustrating.

[legendlink64]

uhh if 1 dies does the other 1 die? Or do they have 2 lives combined? thats kinda cool

[WhiteBoyAhoy]

dammit why the head... :(

[Porcelanesa]

They're amazing kids, plus they're so cute!

2:15 "A pony" and she smiles, isn't that adorable!

[happieeyore]

they are going to get so frustrated when they get to be teenagers...i feel bad :/

[Jennv1235]

These girls will grow up to be just fine. They are amazing ladies already.

[jennielynnhowatt]

This mother was so adamant about the fact that she didn't have an abortion, it was almost said with a sense of pride. "That's not even an option". Too bad she didn't think of the all of the "options" her conjoined daughters would not have in their lives. Romantic relationships, driving, the freedom to roam...these things will be difficult, if not impossible for these girls. Sure, these girls have life...but at what cost?

[Lemon020202]

These girls are amazing for dealing with this kind of thing that wasn't their fault...but lets face it, people here are saying here, these girls are happy and the mother was right not to have an abortion..but they are happy because they are 4..what about whenthey are 34 or 54 who is going to have the burden to take care of them, what future do they really have and look at the medication they are on now, its only going to get worse - she shoud have had an ABORTION, SOMETIMES - STOP THE SUFFERING

[superchick017]

what a retarded mother they are fucked for life and look what did she get out of it cash

[rachel13kicksurarss]

@superchick017 what the fuck? do you have like no empathy

what the mother did is amazing

and the daughters are just fine.

Imagine if that was you

Think before you comment kay and don't act like a spoiled little kid next time

I got sick I almost died but now I talk slow abit But thankfully nothing else was effected and I'm normal

so what these girls are is amazing!

[superchick017]

@rachel13kicksurarss think bout the fact when they go to date they have to have each other right there they will never be able to be there own person if one time one falls and bumps there head it effects both of them it probably fucking hurts for them to run you try it tell me how it feels if i was those girls once i was old enough a pistol to the temple would do great they better get rich since this bitch is commercializing them

[rachel13kicksurarss]

@superchick017 ok like wth?

first of all you gotta admit that they are amazing

and you don't have to swear?

and you have a point but why did you comment? to make a negative comment?

The mum probaly wanted her daughters to live life to the fullest even know they are like that

Don't you dare call the mum are bitch,she loves them no matter what

and Like srsly your gonna debate it! I'm over talking and replying to you! grow up!

[BarneysanchezDH]

Very amazing girls. Really liked how they know what the other is holding or doing.

[OSNAPitsjulia]

what a remarkable mother! so caring. she truly is inspirational... good luck and lots of love! <3

[D3VIIOUSgaming]

how do they get dressed?

[BoulderTheBear92]

3:03 LMFAO

[ReaveSquad]

at 3:28 it almost looks like a normal person

[Samtaswims12]

@ReaveSquad you say "it" like THEY aren't people they aren't an it. they are little girls

[ilikeboardgames]

"He was like, we can terminate the pregancy. And right I away, I was like, no. No, that's not even an option." I love this woman!!

[ilikeboardgames]

"He said, we can terminate the pregnancy and Right Away I was like, no." I love this woman!!

[Coldretter]

i kinda thought the mom was hot until the scene at 5:24

[cbrodegard1]

Those girls are so adorable and inspiring :)

I feel bad that they have to deal with the inconveniences of being conjoined at the head, but they seem to be stronger people because of it. Their teamwork and trust is amazing!

Also, even though the shape of their heads is unusual, their little faces are so pretty!

[mikeintosh567]

just leave them alone! they're not animals...they are people.

[PurpleDinousaur]

AHHH at 0:25 they sound like ghosts

[becauseiloveyeww]

just because she has piercings does not make her pothead and she seems like a great mother so don't judge her. krista and tatiana are soo cute !!

[x0xLilMissMex0x]

@p0gothem0nkey shut the fuck up.

[JusIgnoreMe]

i bet she smoked pot shen she was preg.. look at thoe piercings and shit. Emo byatch! -.-

[MrPopularkid7]

how do u know the girls are suffering? didn't look like they are suffering in the video, and for being conjoined twins they seem to be living a more full life than people without a defect.

[tarheeldave404]

well that would suck

[elhenry7]

@JennRighter

i hope you wrought in hell

[BarneysanchezDH]

@elhenry7 Rot.

[lubinum]

Yes, what an amazing mother. The girls are so beautiful. They ARE a true miracle. God bless you.

[candyqueenify]

AWW :(

[ALienANnihilator]

not trying to be mean, because this is sad, but how are their shirts put on?

[akwardturtels]

thats kool!

[FreeBigLurch]

Thumbs up if you think she should have terminated the pregnancy

[x0xLilMissMex0x]

@FreeBigLurch youre a horrible person!

[FreeBigLurch]

@x0xLilMissMex0x Yeah because these girls are going to have a long happy life...

[x0xLilMissMex0x]

@FreeBigLurch They may. You don't know.

[CluckCluckBoomz]

their mom is a boob....

[1000islucky]

This is so sad  :(

[gimmeabreak732]

Thumbs up if you're a TWIN! (::)

[BlueGlassLightning]

That mom is awesome for doing this for them, and those girls are awesome for being able to just...live.

Also, totally unrelated, but they have such pretty eyelashes. <3

[the3starr1]

Awww... that's so .. but how would they grow up, and have kids, without the other ):, they driving):..

[thesodathief]

what if one died what wud happen to other??

[elleleeanne]

@thesodathief they are joined at the brain, so if one died, most likely the other one would start dying as well.

[thesodathief]

@elleleeanne ooo thats terrible!!

[iloveyoucc14]

What happends when one of them die?

[4444Kristine]

I would caution people to be kind in their responses here, What this woman did is beyond what most would do. She is an authentic hero. Please be respectful in your comments.

[4444Kristine]

My goodness, this story has touched me so deeply. I send my love and my prayers and my thanks to you all, Hogan family. You have made me appreciate life in a while new way because of your grace and dignity and respect for human life. I wish I could meet you all and give you a hug. For now, I hope this reaches you.

Kristine Bland

Clearwater, Florida

[vFriitZv]

EW WTF

[pillowpants5]

how do they put their clothes on?

[coolestusername1234]

and i was lik whoa and like like like like like like. like overload

[JBisaQueer]

not to be like a jerk or something, but what happens when one dies?

[xOMGDomo]

@JBisaQueer im not sure, but i THINK if one dies, the other does right away too.. maybe..

[JBisaQueer]

@xOMGDomo thatd be kinda awkward having your dead sibling attached to you

[xOMGDomo]

@JBisaQueer yeah.. so you'd just walk around, conjointed to somebody dead. thats not scary at all o-O. but yeah i think they both do die , since that one part of their brain is conjointed. O:

[wisniewz]

@xOMGDomo i think if the one died who's heart was supplying both brains oxygen died, they would both die. If the other died however, the other would live. but that's just my guess.

[xOMGDomo]

@wisniewz maybe, but that would be pretty scary to have to carry your sister's body weight everywhere. have you watched abby and brittany, the ones who are conjoined at the body? hopefully if your guess was correct, the one who controls the blood would die as well, because it would be pretty painful to see your twin die. also, i wonder if they became conjoined because the mother did drugs or something while she was pregnant? its not because of her looks.. im just saying. this is prettyy rare.

[sousousarou]

wheres the father??



[fabbadabamoo]

wow thats amazing, and they are so cute, I loved the scene of (forgive me if I'm wrong) Tatiana on the phone, that put a smile on my face

[Blip186]

God bless the mother too...

[Micheleeroo]

How sad that a doctor, who's taken the hypocratic oath, would suggest to someone that they should kill their own child.

[AKSevenT4]

Did the mother do any drugs or drink alcohol? Or was it just an unlucky thing?

[00Crazyness]

Why are people judging the mother just because she does not look like a typical one

[PhunWithYourGun]

Please dont shave their heads!

[SaRahUnDeSiReD]

lmao.

[dhardtofind]

They will grow up to be geniuses, each of them has access to not only one brain, but TWO! God bless them.

[xxSYR8xx]

I wonder were the dad is.......

[ginaexlimationpoint]

What adorable girls. I hope they remain safe and live a long, happy life.

[star91187]

very beautiful little girls

[Galal0110]

wow they are beautiful! God bless them!

[misszoei]

No secrets with those two.

[rwiseley]

they should have one name...like Janus

[THEMASKFHC]

wow look at the mother .....

[4444Kristine]

@THEMASKFHC AND? What about ho she looks? What you should be looking at is how amazing she is to decide to allow them to live and how brave she is for taking on a world where people like you exist. Shame on you.

[THEMASKFHC]

@4444Kristine people like me ? from an educated point of view people usually with ear rings all over their face are not too financially stable . i'm sorry if you thought i was being mean i was just making an assumption.

[jonaisfamous]

AWWWWWWWWWW

They are so cute :D

[HelloCarly10]

I think its so cool how their brains can communicate =D

I'm proud to live in the same town as these awesome little girls !!

[MrThosekids]

Its like having eyes in the back of your head!!!

[Mastodon704]

Teenage years will be the hardest.

[phatkix]

That's really cool they transfer brain waves.

[SillyMeNoSillyYou]

my neck hurt the whole time i watched this

[KitKatPuttyTatt]

they certainly are amazing little girls and its beautiful to see a family who is so supportive and loving of them.

[TheSparksOfOurHearts]

That's an incredible story. And I'm glad to hear that termination didn't even cross her mind, even though she knew it would be a lot of work.

[Aussiegirl265]

@XxCrazyCuzinzxX You mean aborted? yeah...I would have done the same. It sounds cruel but it's terrible to bring them into the world where they won't be able to live a full life.

[4444Kristine]

@XxCrazyCuzinzxX There is something wrong with you, truly. you need to have a word with yourself. My god. how people like you exist is beyond my understanding. Why can't you keep your foul comments and thoughts to yourself? I am disgusted.

[LucyyFinchh]

The fact that they can do that thing where one shuts their eyes and can know what the toy is... whatever i cant explain it. But thats amazing !!

[proudmexican111]

i bet that was a bitch coming out

[msginarene91]

@proudmexican111 tha mom probably had to have a c section. doctors wont vaginally deliver conjoined twins.. it causes too many problems for baby and mom.

[msginarene91]

@proudmexican111 tha mom probably had to have a c section. doctors wont vaginally deliver conjoined twins.. it causes too many problems for baby and mom.

[4444Kristine]

@proudmexican111  What?

[larrydav1d]

Krista is so adorable. This breaks my heart :(

[croital]

oh my gosh im crying so much. god bless,

[ZaraNSatchell]

what an amazing mother
