  • A set of one-year-old conjoined twins who had been sharing part of their hearts have been successful separated following a mammoth seven-hour operation. Anna and Hope Richards were separated at the Texas Children’s Hospital in Texas, it was announced this week, by a multidisciplinary 75-strong team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists and nurses. The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation, weighing a combined 9lbs 12oz (4.4kg) and were conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. In addition they had large blood vessels connecting their hearts. The twins are now recovering at the hospital and are expected to be strong enough to go home in about a month’s time. “We've thought about and prayed for this day for almost two years,” their mother Jill Richards said, who welcomed the girls along with her husband Michael and their sons Collin and Seth. “It's an indescribable feeling to look at our girls in two separate beds.” The epic surgery was carried out on January 13 and involved planning and preparation before the girls were even born. In November last year, aged 11 months, the twins underwent a surgical procedure to place tissue expanders to allow their skin to grow and stretch ready for their separation. Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

Anna and Hope Richards were separated at the Texas Children’s Hospital in Texas, it was announced this week, by a multidisciplinary 75-strong team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists and nurses. The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation, weighing a combined 9lbs 12oz (4.4kg) and were conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. In addition they had large blood vessels connecting their hearts. The twins are now recovering at the hospital and are expected to be strong enough to go home in about a month’s time. “We've thought about and prayed for this day for almost two years,” their mother Jill Richards said, who welcomed the girls along with her husband Michael and their sons Collin and Seth. “It's an indescribable feeling to look at our girls in two separate beds.” The epic surgery was carried out on January 13 and involved planning and preparation before the girls were even born. In November last year, aged 11 months, the twins underwent a surgical procedure to place tissue expanders to allow their skin to grow and stretch ready for their separation. Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

  • A set of one-year-old conjoined twins who had been sharing part of their hearts have been successful separated following a mammoth seven-hour operation. Anna and Hope Richards were separated at the Texas Children’s Hospital in Texas, it was announced this week, by a multidisciplinary 75-strong team of surgeons, anesthesiologists, cardiologists and nurses. The girls were delivered via C-section on 29 December, 2016, at 35 weeks gestation, weighing a combined 9lbs 12oz (4.4kg) and were conjoined at their chest and abdomen, through the length of their torso and shared the chest wall, pericardial sac (lining of the heart), diaphragm and liver. In addition they had large blood vessels connecting their hearts. The twins are now recovering at the hospital and are expected to be strong enough to go home in about a month’s time. “We've thought about and prayed for this day for almost two years,” their mother Jill Richards said, who welcomed the girls along with her husband Michael and their sons Collin and Seth. “It's an indescribable feeling to look at our girls in two separate beds.” The epic surgery was carried out on January 13 and involved planning and preparation before the girls were even born. In November last year, aged 11 months, the twins underwent a surgical procedure to place tissue expanders to allow their skin to grow and stretch ready for their separation. Dr. Larry Hollier, surgeon-in-chief and chief of plastic surgery at Texas Children’s Hospital, said: “The success of this incredibly complex surgery was the result of our dedicated team members’ hard work throughout the last year. “Through simulations and countless planning meetings, we were able to prepare for situations that could arise during the separation. “We are thrilled with the outcome and look forward to continuing to care for Anna and Hope as they recover.” The Richards family, from North Texas, learned Jill was carrying conjoined twins during a routine ultrasound.

  • EXCLUSIVE: A mother gave birth to someone else’s babies after an IVF mix-up, a new lawsuit claims. The woman and her husband, from Queens, New York, are suing CHA Fertility Centre, in Los Angeles, after giving birth to children who didn't share their ethnicity. The clinic is run by Dr. Joshua Berger and co-owner Simon Hong. The Asian couple, who are referred to as Y.Z. and A.P. in court documents, married in 2012 and tried relentlessly--both naturally and with medical assistance--to get pregnant. After countless disappointment, the couple visited CHA Fertility Center with the hopes of becoming parents. In January 2018, Dr. Berger and Mr Hong met with the couple and walked them through months-long medicine, vitamin tests, and several procedures to yield eight embryos. In total, the couple says they spent $100,000 on the entire process. In September, the pair were excited after learning female embryos were successfully planted and they were pregnant with twins. Their joy, however, was short-lived when the ultrasound revealed they were instead having twin boys. Dr. Berger dismissed the sonogram and tried to calm their concerns by revealing when his wife was pregnant they were originally having a boy but gave birth to a girl. Y.Z. and A.P's nerves were calmed for a moment, and on March 30, 2019, A.P. delivered the children via C-section and was met with an unspeakable mix-up. The babies were indeed boys but did not share their Asian ethnicity. Even worse, the boys weren't related to one another. Y.Z and A.P. unknowingly were surrogate parents and had to give the children up to their respective parents who were also clients of CHA Fertility Center. The couple was so embarrassed and heartbroken they haven't told their family or close friends. For Y.Z and A.P, the experience has left them with "permanent emotional injuries from which they will not recover," the suit says.The amount they are suing for is also undisclosed. 07 Jul 2019 Pictured: CHA Fertility Center.

The babies were indeed boys but did not share their Asian ethnicity. Even worse, the boys weren't related to one another. Y.Z and A.P. unknowingly were surrogate parents and had to give the children up to their respective parents who were also clients of CHA Fertility Center. The couple was so embarrassed and heartbroken they haven't told their family or close friends. For Y.Z and A.P, the experience has left them with "permanent emotional injuries from which they will not recover," the suit says.The amount they are suing for is also undisclosed. 07 Jul 2019 Pictured: CHA Fertility Center.

  • EXCLUSIVE: A mother gave birth to someone else’s babies after an IVF mix-up, a new lawsuit claims. The woman and her husband, from Queens, New York, are suing CHA Fertility Centre, in Los Angeles, after giving birth to children who didn't share their ethnicity. The clinic is run by Dr. Joshua Berger and co-owner Simon Hong. The Asian couple, who are referred to as Y.Z. and A.P. in court documents, married in 2012 and tried relentlessly--both naturally and with medical assistance--to get pregnant. After countless disappointment, the couple visited CHA Fertility Center with the hopes of becoming parents. In January 2018, Dr. Berger and Mr Hong met with the couple and walked them through months-long medicine, vitamin tests, and several procedures to yield eight embryos. In total, the couple says they spent $100,000 on the entire process. In September, the pair were excited after learning female embryos were successfully planted and they were pregnant with twins. Their joy, however, was short-lived when the ultrasound revealed they were instead having twin boys. Dr. Berger dismissed the sonogram and tried to calm their concerns by revealing when his wife was pregnant they were originally having a boy but gave birth to a girl.
