The young parents were very happy about the new addition to the family, but immediately became concerned about their future.
In February 2002, two girls, Kendra and Malia, were born to Jake and Erin Herrin. Their birth caused mixed feelings: the babies turned out to be Siamese twins. The young parents were very happy about the addition to the family, but immediately worried about their future.
Until the age of 4, Kendra and Malia lived one life for two. But soon their parents firmly decided to separate the twins, giving each of them the opportunity to become independent.
Kendra and Malia had only two legs, and each of them controlled only one of them. But the girls quickly learned to work together and were able to move and play.
In 2006, a team of 31 specialists performed a procedure to separate the Siamese twins. It took them more than a day, and the event itself was actively covered in the media and on television, making Kendra and Malia little celebrities.
The girls were separated when they were 4 years old. From that moment on, each of them became independent.
Despite the fact that they had to get used to a new life, they adapted quickly. After three years, the sisters began attending school, sometimes alternating them with home schooling. The sisters showed a talent for creativity. They could spend hours drawing in their room, while humming their favorite song.
Kendra and Malia always showed their peers by personal example that there are no hopeless situations. For this, they began to be considered heroes of the school, and their classmates always and in everything tried to help them.
Now the girls are already 20 years old.

Now Kendra and Malia live a full life. Having the opportunity to distance themselves from each other at any distance, they still prefer to be close everywhere. The girls got their driver’s licenses and drive perfectly.
The sisters have a YouTube channel and social media pages where they share interesting events from their lives. The twins have tens of thousands of fans.
The Herrin sisters are friends with the mother of conjoined twins Kelly and Carter. Having a lot of life experience in the same situation, they give her good advice and support her daughters in every possible way.
