Multiple pregnancies are rare occurrences, with the likelihood of having twins estimated at only 2%, and the chances of quadruplets calculated at one case in several tens of millions. However, miracles do happen. Fourteen years ago, during her first ultrasound, Julia discovered that she was carrying four embryos in her womb at once.
The situation was complex because the children were developing in the same placenta, and there were no guarantees of their health at birth. Julia was even advised to terminate the pregnancy, but she adamantly refused.
Following a caesarean section, it was revealed that all the girls were healthy, although two of them initially had low birth weights, which quickly normalized. However, the most remarkable aspect was not just that Julia gave birth to quadruplets, but that all four girls bore an uncanny resemblance to each other. This similarity has persisted over time, with the girls constantly being mistaken for one another.
Those around them are consistently intrigued by the unusual family, often attempting to discern differences between the girls, which are few and far between. They even wear identical glasses.
The girls themselves are content with their situation, as their shared appearance has garnered them popularity. They have already received offers for collaborations with several clothing brands.
Family fostered a 12-year-old boy that nobody wants – But soon they realized who he really is
According to recent data presented by the Children’s Bureau, the number of children in foster care nationwide is approximately 424,000. In Tennessee only, there are slightly less than 8,000 children who are waiting to be reunited with their families or find a forever home with people who would love them unconditionally. The sad reality is that the number of foster families in this state is less than 4,000.
Up until recently, one of those kids who found themselves in the system was 12-year-old Andrew from Nashville. This lovely boy spent half his life going from one family to another. However, that changed when he was welcomed in by a special foster family; the Gills.
Kevin and Dominique Gill have a son on their own, Joc, who made very good friends with Andrew the moment they first met. The boys just love hanging out together. They spend their time playing games, taking walks, and doing a bunch of fun stuff. Realizing how close the boys became, Kevin and Dominique decided to let them be best friends forever by filing adoption papers.
Andrew had no idea he was about to become an official member of the Gill family. One day, as he was taking a walk at the park with Molly Parker, an employee at the Youth Villages, he was met with the news that his foster parents are adopting him.
“I just turned around the corner and saw everybody,” Andrew said. “They asked ‘will you?’ and I said ‘yeah!’
Besides being best friends, these boys now became brothers. Isn’t that the most beautiful thing ever?
