This Couple Were Besotted With Their Newborn Twins – But Then The Doctor Said, "I’m Sorry"

Jodi told Barcroft TV, “I wouldn’t say I have made any sacrifices because of the girls being born. It sounds sort of sugar-coated but the only things that they have brought into our life are positive. There’s nothing negative. There’s nothing in the world that could convince me to change them.”

Eight-year-old Finlay understands that his sisters need a little more help than they would if they didn’t have Down syndrome. With the twins’ condition, however, the whole family has grown stronger. “The girls have brought us together massively as a unit, but also made us appreciate the here and now,” Matt told Barcroft TV.

With Abigail and Isobel having brought nothing but joy to the Parrys’ lives, Jodi is still baffled as to why the doctor thought to apologize for the girls’ diagnosis. “If I could ever meet him again, I would like to show him Abigail and Isobel and say, ‘Why did you say sorry?’”
