Erin and Abby Delaney were born in July 2016 in Philadelphia. The girls were born as extremely rare Siamese twins – craniopagus – meaning their heads were joined.

Their skulls and parts of their brain membranes were fused, and doctors knew from the start that without highly complex surgery, they would not survive long.

When the girls were just one year old, doctors made the crucial decision to separate them. The parents were immediately told the truth: likely, one of the daughters would not survive.
