Meanwhile on the other side of the world having a twin is considered a blessing. How ironic 😞
blessing or curse it depends on one's wealth and ability to raise them
This kind of thinking does not apply to the whole of Africa in my ethnic group (Yoruba) it is seen as a blessing . We even have the highest twin births sooooo
Yep
Long ago for my African culture too, it was considered a curse. The mom would have to choose which twin to kill off, because the elders believed if you keep both of them alive then bad things would happen like parents dying young, or even bring bad luck to the family. We have since evolved and now twins are considered a double blessing.
@@byee5056 YAASS girl, my grandmothers on both parents sides were twins, I'm hoping to have some in the future as its missed my parents and my siblings
I’m so happy for that woman who left her husband to keep her babies.
Happy?
@@vanhughes yes happy! Happy she had the strength and courage to leave her husband to be with and care for her kids to the best of her abilities.
Twins or multiples are a curse especially if you're poor. You have many mouths to feed now. Who can handle that stress?
@@LaoSoftware children are blessing from GOD beside all we have comes from him our lives, health.... Let acknowledge that Am a twin the joy of having someone look like you, sharing birthdays is endless
@@LaoSoftware if multiple mouths to feed were such a big issue, then why are the men so against condoms? Outreach programs bring birth control by crate loads and the men tell their wives not to take it.
I really hope that the teacher who adopted the 1 twin is doing well.
The world needs more people like her
I agree, l am one of them. I would very much want to do that but l don't know how to do it or to go about it. Maybe be if l could be sponsored l would carry as many as I can. Children are a blessing and a gift from God.
The sheer hypocrisy of the elders having no problem visiting a twin doctor is staggering.
Rules for thee but not for me... they treat twins like less than dirt, but when it comes to preserving themselves and their life, they have no qualms about using them.
right sounds like a lot of B/S!😢
“So you don’t care about the innocent children.” Idiotic village elder laughs. Men making the rules, women and children suffer.
don't be sexist. Everyone can be an utter idiot, not just men.
@@kenjidev576 but in this case, and most (not all) cases, it's the men making this stupid decisions
@@kenjidev576 I know for a fact that if women were the elders, no child would be abandoned for 'ancestral reasons'. Notice the women leave with their children but the men leave their wives and children for a safe and undisturbed life. Kind of like most cases in our countries too. The men jump ship to shell off the responsibility of a child while the women face challenges far greater than most surrounding them. It's not always the men, of course, but it overwhelmingly is in every single country. Such a shame.
I want go over there, hopefully with the guys that played fred and George Weasley and slap the hell out of those damn asshats
Feel the same...wait til they meet Jesus...He will throw them into the fiery pit of sheol. Trust.
Call me cynical but I feel that somewhere in this taboo/tradition there is a father who didn’t want the responsibility of raising two kids.
Actually, I think it likely stems from the days when people were nomadic. Raising twins was very difficult then, as women could only care for one child at a time since she had to carry them every where while doing her own work. Often babies would be abandoned if they were born when the mother already had another infant because it was simply not possible to care for another child. I wonder if this is a manifestation of that.
Yeah & I'm sure the elders are all men SMH & black men at that smh. If I was that reporter I would have shouted, twins are a blessing from GOD!! All because of something that happened long ago. Nothing biblical at all... They got massacred because they went back a big group of people to a place where a massacred was happening! The story seems made up too. How can you forgot one twin while fleeing? They left without grabbing the child?? Then why take just one & not both? Fake just to push these women into giving them up so the men don't have to take on the responsibility of an abundance of children. Such a small village to produce so many twins within that community!
In lean times twins mean more mouths to feed. If one catches a cold the other may catch it. That equals more medicine to buy. More clothes are needed as well, etc.
nikolsan15 I agree with u and it could be true .
I feel like they think like that.
This is true motherhood. Leaving everything behind for your children, no matter the cost. I wish them health and happiness
The twins being dropped off in the orphanage is obviously awful but I love they are kept together and it looks like the little ones are in the same bed. I just love that so much! Though they were abandoned they are never alone.
I agree. At least they have each other. I felt such sorrow for the two who lose their twin but of course one was adopted. I hope they found a family for the other baby.
The lady with three sets of twins would have her own reality show in US.

"I'm not giving away my children,wherever they are I will be" ❤❤❤ I love that she will not allow tradition to stop her from being a great Mother
Vibrant Hues fuck tradition, I'd stay with the kids.
No chief, ancestors, etc. Will make me give up something precious I gave birth to. Especially men that do not know what it is to give birth to children. All of these damn myths in Africa are ridiculous.

I Know that, but this particular video was speaking on Africa.

The lady who had to abandon her babies seemed so sad and withdrawn. I feel that she truly didn’t want to but felt she had to due to her culture.
She is no more sad, than I was, when my husband told me he wasn't ready to be a father, two months after our marriage, and just weeks after losing my mother. 47 years ago, and I'm still dealing with the immense loss.
That doctor, mayor, orphanage leader and teacher are doing God’s work. To stay so connected to a community that abandons these children constantly, shows their pure resolve to give this kids a better life
When the mom said I'll rather them die in my hand than give them away... i felt that and only a true mom will say that...
these man are making decisions that they have no business making.. babies are blessing and when u have twins thats double the blessing...so sad they cant see that..
I saw it differently. If someone in another country adopted them and gave them a better life - a normal life, what real mother would rather have them dead? A real mother wants her kids to live.
deaconsmom2000 ok but in this situation you can’t have them adopted. They either be killed or sold.
I don't think we should judge these women...
I hope these kids get a better life
That's a very American way of seeing things
3 sets of twins? How beautiful , I hope they grow up to do amazing things 💕
Elwhat a Blessing 🙌🙌✨🌹✨🙌🙌🙏🙏🕊️🕎♥️💃💃👑 HONOR PRAISE GLORY THANKSGIVING MAJESTY 👑 HONOR PRAISE THANKSGIVING MAJESTY 👑
I’m not gonna lie. Having three sets of twins I would lose my mind. lol. I would be like REALLY GOD???? Lol. But I would love them.
I marvel at the courage of those parents who also have to do raise these 3 sets in poverty... the government should help in such cases
They most likely wont. Statistically at least one of them has passed by now.
Come on. They're not even able to feed them. What chance do these kids have? They're well below any poverty level we can imagine in the West. They're subject to starvation, disease, abuse, etc.
I’m a twin and I’m so glad I didn’t grow up there. I was born in Mexico but I grew up in Florida. In my class there are 4 sets of twins including my brother and I. It’s amazing to have a twin. The only thing that sucks is that everyone refers to you as “the twins” and they will always compare you and ask you questions about the other one as if you were the same person. A ton of people actually say that we look nothing alike and some people actually ask us if we are dating lol.
I hope that that taboo changes because being a twin is amazing.
Who asked for an autobiography
@@wantedmarvz5128Well, you didn't ask for a biography, either, but here ya go.....
I have a set of twin girls. We think they are fraternal but we're not sure. Right from the beginning, I was determined that they wouldn't just be seen as "the twins"--2 copies of the same person. A friend of mine has a set of identical twin girls, and she always tells people, "Just because they're twins doesn't mean that they are the same person in two different bodies". Both of our sets of twins have non-rhyming, non-alliterated names. Neither of us insist on dressing our girls alike at all times. We rarely do.
And both of us always treat our twins as the individuals that they are.
@@HariMorni I'm a female with a twin brother. We were once asked during a twin study if our mother dressed us alike. I remember saying, "No, he's a boy and I"m a girl so we weren't dressed alike. Actually, our mother sewed a lot of our clothes. She liked to dress my 2 sisters and me in the same outfits. I remember bright red cotton dresses with full skirs paired with a black vest with shiny rickrack trim for Christmas. My mother thought that was cool. LOLOL! Or all three of us wearing matching Easter bonnets with maybe a different colour ribbon. Or 3 swimsuits in cotton with matching hooded cover ups when we went to the beach. No, I never was dressed like my brother.
@@wantedmarvz5128And who asked for your opinion?
I saw the pain was in the mother's eyes because she had to give up her other baby... also side note, I noticed and thought to myself all of the women who chose to keep their babies were some of the most beautiful women I've ever seen and their children were as well ❤
She didn’t have to we all have a Choice they could’ve raised the baby girl and not let on she’s a twin but they had a choice and she choose her man over her own baby her own flesh and blood a real man wouldn’t pass over his children no matter what 😢
All the children were remarkably beautiful.
The twins in the orphanage look to be well cared for and absolutely gorgeous it's just so sad & a disgusting despicable "taboo"
Miss Tru Boyz RC yes, they look very clean and healthy! I’m happy to see! ❤️ this breaks my heart tho... nobody deserves this.!
They are beautiful clean and healthy
"Anyone who keep twins has no soul". Well, anyone who abandons twins because of tribal crap has no heart, no soul, no mind.
@Yvonne Blake No. She was right. This culture needs to educate themselves and stop believing in this tribal crap.
@Yvonne Blake um, first of all, calm TF down. Second, follow your own advice 🤦🏿
Yvonne Blake TEACH IT SISTER!! I WAS SAYING THE SAME THING AND THEN THEY ARE GIVING THOSE BABIES TO THE FRENCH!!!!! CAN WE SAY ORGAN TRAFFICKING AND SEX TRAFFICKING!!
This is so sad
Those Twins R blessings and God loves them to be truthful I can not help so I won't judge but I will say that babies need their parents and parents need their babies I am praying for those moms and their babies
"If she wants to keep the twins she must leave, it's her choice" thats some textbook victim blaming right there
These children are so adorable, can’t believe that anyone would abandon them. I would be so happy to have a set of adorable twins.
The teacher accepting the abandoned twin definitely brought tears to my eyes. God bless you little one and your new Mum.
Me too
Imagine an entire village of twins!!!! This is considered a blessing where I come from....love these babies
I'm a Jamaican who also got emotional when she took the twin
Twins are considered cursed in parts of Ethiopia, as well. My friend adopted twin girls from there. They are considered a bad omen.
Yes. She looked so happy!
It is disgraceful that these women have to give away their beautiful babies! The woman who kept her twins is so strong.
Mick Peacher yes she is I’m strong too cause there’s no way I would gave up my beautiful children for no one I would left the village in found somewhere else to be
It's witchcraft. Blessings of the womb are a gift from God. God bless the brave mothers who refuse to give their babies up.
They dont HAVE to do anything... they chose to abandon their twins... they were given the choice to abandon them to have a place to stay or venture out on their own with their babies like normal adults do...I could never leave my sons behind my two boys are my life even with my oldest have major special needs they're mine and I will raise them
Amen
How bloody heartbreaking. What if they had triplets?
So many families in this world would willingly offer them a loving family home 😢
How despicable when the village elder men started laughing at her question about if they cared about the children. It’s one thing to have beliefs that make you do something, but it’s a whole other thing to have no compassion at the things you feel you must do.
These women who choose to keep their children are beyond amazing👏🏾👏🏾may Abba bless them🤲🏾

my worst fear is having these twins get adopted by no good , abusive parents.
I wish I was older if i was already 21 or older i would have traveled there right now and adopted some of those children i love kids ever since I was little I always wanna have a lot of children around me to keep my future house lively I wanna here them laughing all the time but its a pity im still young but don't worry when i become 21 later on after many years ill be able to travel on my own and adopted many as i can☺ and I also hope the others get a good family god bless them they are beautiful
Cant be worse than the father who saw two healthy babies and left them-
@@lovelypersonn1720 mamy places require that you at least be 25 and married in a heterosexual marriage to adopt. If you are single, you can adopt from a select few countries when you are 30 or 35. Adoption from Madagascar costs 50,000, not including the costs that you will pay your hone country for approbal to adopt and home studies. Once approved by your home country, you can begin to adopt from other countries.
To adopt from Madagascar:
You also are not allowed to have more than 3 children to adopt for a max of four. If you have two kids, you can adopt two from Madagascar. Three kids, and you can adopt one from Madagascar. If you spouse dies during your adoption process, Madagascar will terminate your adoption and you will be ineligible to adopt from many countries. You'd only be able to adopt from 7. Ig you successfully adopt from Madagascar, you must send an annual report to the Madagascar government until the child is 18.
China is releatively cheap at about 25,000 per adoption including travel. Each countru has very different and strict requirements, including domestic adoption. I suggest you familiarize yourself with the rules and agencies.
@Cort adoption agencies require you to be 25 year olds and some require you to be 30 or even 35.
And it is not easy.
Go to an adoption agency website and actually check the requirements. Yes in most states in the US, you have to be at least 21. But you adopt from an adoption agency, and they get to set more rules.
Only 10 percent of people who meet all the requiremnts for adoption get a child to adopt.
That's how hard it is.
You cam qualify all you want, but only a lucky few get a kid.
It's hard to get worse than literally being abandoned.
Even cruel parents is better than no parents.
Awwww. The babies are so cute! Man I’d love to adopt a set of twins. That taboo is so insane to me. 😢
Wow, awesome! I would love too. Did you manage to adopt. I have always admired to have twins since child hood. I'm in Africa, Nairobi, Kenya. Hope the best for you.
Me too. I wish I was a twin sometimes. I hope I'll have twins. If not, it would be nice to adopt.
My mom is a twin and it’s the best gift ever !! Every child is a blessing! How is there so much cruelty against kids
Aww did anyone see big brother give crying little brother some of his Rice
He has a good disposition
Cutest kids ever. It's heartbreaking that they have to live like that

Babies are a BLESSING and twins are double the blessing!!
AN Morgan yes!! I have 13 year old twins as well as 3 other daughters . They are truly a blessing !!
The eldery said the are shits i was about to book my ticket to kick his ass 😤😤
AN Morgan right maybe I should go over they and adopt me one set sense they don't want them.
teacherm sall: and if you do; I will book a ticket burn down your cave.
Earth is big and you need to leave peoples culture alone. YOU HAVE NO RECEIPTS that YOU ARE RIGHT.
You cut of babies foreskin/penis at birth. I sure everybody there think this is savagery. At the end of they day.
🗡️A knife was taken to Western male babies that makes them bleed blood. no twin babies shed blood there = so who is right? ; then you poison them why pharmaceutical formulas, 💉shoot them up with vaccines and leave them in their informal development in cribs and strollers = to have separation and bonding issues.
the body wraps is best for early human development in the brain
LOTS OF STUFF IS WRONG IN YOUR CULTURE TOO ( fix that 1st)
Agree
the thing I love the most, is that in all these documentaries where children are rejected or seriously mistreated, there are always people with shelters that protects them, cares for them and feeds them. People who see a problem and take action, with whatever they have at hand. These people make such an impact in these kid's life. Bless them, really.

God never abandons his children
It's sad to say but they might be better off in the center because they won't be hungry barely eating rice 🤷🏾♀️
AxisDens may God reward them
It's crazy because I have a twin sister and was born in canada and can only imagine whatever my mother would have had to go through if she had us in madagascar and raised us in places that currently have that taboo. I love being a twin and think I'd be so sad if either of us had to be given up or abandoned or even killed just because we were twins. It makes me feel sad that being a twin is seen as such a bad thing and that i wouldn't even be considered as a person in some places over there. I hope that these people are able to find it within their hearts to change their beliefs to stop harassing these women and children and that it changes soon.
This woman is amazing for leaving her husband and village just to keep her twins support to her and the others as well❤️
That new mother was so proud to finally have a baby of her own! That made me cry. That child will be so loved.
Kaytie Buckhalt That alone made want to book a flight there with $20k and get a set..
It is bittersweet. She is a twin. Why has she not adopted any of thee others???
Every single baby in this video is so cute and pretty 🥺
Yes that is what I was thinking.
They're GORGEOUS! I see purity in their souls and hearts ❤
Toe Really true. :3
I couldn’t agree with you more! 💖🙂💖
HAHAHAAAA!!
This is so heartbreaking to see people who have such primative thinking. God Bless these women for stepping up and caring for these beautiful children
That little girl got a good mum. I hope they're both doing well.
They need a lesson from Mulan's grandmother when she spoke about the ancestors
"How lucky can they be? They're dead!" lol
Precisely. Wise words
brincezz my exact thought too 🤣
Ahhh well said
Lol
This woman had 3 sets of healthy twins in abject poverty?! And they're all alive? They should give her a medal.
Also the tradition started during a tribal war with a tribe being massacred because they went back to save one of the twins that had been accidentally left behind. And they honor the tradition by... leaving their babies behind? What? Wouldn't the moral actually be "keep your twins close to you so don't endanger other people?"
Also, I fear for the reckoning that could be coming for these people. It would be absolutely crazy if the tribe that started this tradition was suddenly attacked by a rebel group made up entirely of twins who had been abandoned at birth and grew to hate their own people.
Its a thought, I think you would call it poetic justice.
These children are so clean and obviously well cared for. Wonderful mothers.
What I never understand with this kind of “traditions” is that, even the communities that abandon their twins still live in abject poverty and I’m sure people still die/get sick once in a while. I guess that’s not a big enough clue for them to abandon the “tradition” 😞
The strength of these mothers is incredible.
I know right
I beg to differ. It is the strength not the mothers that is being described as incredible.
Sue Mick
right. you have to respect their discipline.
Anybody noticed the brother wanted to give his sister some of his rice @ 4:14. It's beautiful.
I saw that😊

I did. I thought he did give her some. It's cute. They are all hungry but they stick together.
These babies are too cute 🤧🥰 I'm so glad their mom's kept them, I hope they all have beautiful lives ❤️
Twins are beautiful and amazing... My 10 year old son always asks me if he can have a twin. Blessings to all the people that have adopted these beautiful children and a salute! To the brave mothers that kept their babies.
3 sets of twins! That is INCREDIBLE. What a blessing.
@bailey1950 instead of saying this loving, poor mother that is doing all she can to take care of her children and just needs some help, you say she should lose her children? What kind of monster are you?

I would hold the twins so tight even if they were cursed I would love them even more bc no one else loves them bc they're "cursed"!!
Gabriela Parrish I agree.
Please do a follow up video- cant wait to see how well the abandoned twin is doing
Those babies are very amazing. They endured quite a lot of suffering and made me want to adopt all these poor babies at the shelter. I hope they have a better education in Madagascar so they hopefully will drop this belief.
The people are illiterate. Is there publicly funded education in Madagascar?
During the conversation with the elders:
**Logic has left the chat**
Bejaroo Should have more likes had me in stitches.
This actually made me laugh out loud 😂
What the fuq do they do with triplets...is there a taboo against quintuplets?
Hell they live in huts how much more fuqing bad luck can they have...it doesn't seem like they'd know the difference if they kept the twins in the village and got bad luck. Those old men seem like they are drunks...I'd leave the tribe and the country with my twins.
To whites and blacks: Plz tell them about Lord Jesus Christ,but do spoil their sustainable life style, you whites! They have everything to have a happy and healthy life! No pains no tensions that's given by Western Corporates, to give their bloody plastic inventions they will take away all the real wealth like rivers will be polluted, Reproductive seeds, gold, silver, diamonds, real leather,etc., Be careful Africa save yourself from White people, naturally because of their extreme climatic conditions they have evolved Fair skin and straight hair because if either Desert or snow, also cunning brains, deceiving spirits than black people. All these blacks painting, cutting lips,etc is to reduce heat in the body because of hot and humid climatic conditions! So do not worry about it!
But, how about murdering people with plastics,chemical medicines,and your bloody inventions of bacteria and viruses to spread diseases!?😢😭😤Whites are more dangerous than them or any wild animals! Stop Deceiving equatorial regions, you whites from snow Deserts and yellows from real Deserts both are more dangerous and you people are actually Antichrist and Illuminatis or Satan's own children with all Satan's qualities of beauty,color, Intelligence, musical talents, proudness, etc.,
Dogs bark because this white man is real culprit acting as if he is good,he is the one spreaded diseases through food or water that they eat or drink. Plz stop it! God will never forgive you u will all go to Hell, get rid of Satan's spirit that makes you journey to each and Every corner if the world!
It’s crazy bc in other parts in Africa it’s believed that twins are gift from God and bring good luck to the family.
Karin Tsatsu right
Depends which part of Africa you come from. Where I am from twins are currently accepted and considered a gift, but it was not so in ancient times. One twin would be killed because it was believed that twins brought bad luck.
Karin Tsatsu Its in Madagascar
eys292 you from Cameroon?
eys292 Bamiliké are only in cameroon right? My cousin is Bamiliké but I'm Bassa but I'm German though. Not sure why but Bamiliké are the tribe people dislike the most, people have a lot of prejudice against them.
This was so enlightening. My people have so much work to do, especially when it comes to our babies. Interestingly all of the chiefs were men, this in itself is a very big factor in this tradition. As a woman who was circumcised as a young girl here in America I can tell you that tradition was steeped in the same "superstition" that this tradition is and it is a dangerous situation... programs like these shed light and may even save lives. Thank you thank you thank you for posting this!!! Godspeed
Bless and a huge respect to the woman who has stayed strong to keep her children safe. That is being responsible as a parent. I hope the best for these lovely twins.
I am so happy that does women didn't give their children up. God bless them.

You need to show the video to your children.
Children, sometimes, are blind to the other sides of life.
Julia Yes. My mom did the same when I was 10 and refused to eat. I remember breaking down crying and feeling so guilty.
I'm 8 turning 9. so this week I stopped wasting food I'm turning 9 in june
Tell me about it!!!! My daughter refuses to eat 😞
My daughter never really had a choice. From a very young age my husband and I would tell her "this is what momma is making, this is what we are eating as a family". If you don't like it well too bad. This food is a blessing and a gift. Besides, I am your mother NOT a short order cook. I never had an issue with picky eating from her.

The twins in the thumbnail are soo adorable! So are all the other children! How could children ever be considered a curse? This frustrates me.
Its interesting how common it is to have twins in this village.
Its almost like its the Universe trying to teach them a lesson. Twins aren't evil.
couldbe a small village where the genepool is being spread quickly
Diet can effect the rate of twins. There are many areas where twins are more common.
Amanda Wilt there is also a genetic thing where a woman’s womb is tilted wich makes it more likely for her to have twins
@@litchtheshinigami8936 that is something i have never came across. It's very common to have a tilted uterus. I don't see how that would play into hyperovulation. (Which is what causes fraternal twins). Hyperovulation is also genetic. There's a gene that causes a woman to release multiple eggs a month. However we are finding that twins are actually a lot more common than once thought. It just usually results in vanishing twin syndrome. Quite fascinating research
@@noneyabuizz9749 well apparently it's more common in asian people. though it would make sense for twins to be relatively common.. women have two boobs then why do they only get one child most of the time
The doctor is a twin but yet two chiefs visit his office for checkups but these are the same ppl who think that twins are a curse and can bring harm...these chiefs are hypocrites
Agreed! I hope their wives give birth to twins. Then maybe the'll understand the situation others had to go through.
Just uneducated sad they are stuck in their ignorance
This is sick and sad
They are steeped in ancestral tradition and illiterate due to laco of education. That's a horrible situation
Exactly! It seems it's all about power, control, selfishness & greed.
Oh my goodness the mother with 3 sets of twins are so sweet. Those kids are beautiful and look after each other. God bless them please.
It makes me sad knowing that in their place twins are considered as bad luck. I'm praying ever since that in the future, i want to have a twins. God bless those women who left their village just to be with their twins and sacrifice just to raised them well . Even the Mayor, May God bless you for supporting those families who kicked the villagers by having a twins and wanted to change that Taboo's.
The mother who abandoned her twins.. I can see the heartbreak in her eyes😢
I know right :( it hurts me that there's nothing she can do
She would probably have had to leave the other child if she left. Her eyes are pleading.
I look at it this way: it has been documented, so maybe baby girl will see this video in a few years from now and try to find mum or vice versa. Maybe by then most of the old men would be dead.
I also noticed the sadness and pain in that woman's silence... mother's suffer the most in such situations, and I feel sorry for her. She was really traumatized😥😥
And how strange that the documentary woman invited an adopted mother to judge the birth mother and herself insinuates the younger birth mother does not value her child by making the comparison between them? That's like going to a middle American adopter and inviting them to judge an immigrant with a worse quality of life who knew their child would have a harsh quality of life if they stayed there (in a patriarchy where mothers have no power in this situation unless they opt to be close to homeless), had other children to care for, and was poor enough to need to be doing hard labor a week after her babies' birth. I have a distaste for her after this. And how about some respect for the topless woman doing field work? I'm sure she didn't imagine she'd be part of a "national geographic" animal, voyeuristic display or sign a nude consent form in anticipation of being internationally televised or digitized in channels next to Western women who have their body parts blurred.
Who else noticed how cute the twins are? Beautiful sets of twins😘😘
I would adopt twins in a heart beat, and here they are abandoning the children. This is just so sad.
Wow 😲 this is shocking to me ,thank you for educating me about this topic, it was really an eye opener. It left me sad with emotions. God bless the people who are taking care of these innocent souls 🙏♥️
Being a mom of twins, this breaks my heart. If I could take all the babies in this video, I definitely would. Kids are a blessing!
We should go and take.is really sad
I know this has nothing to do with the video,but you fine as hell 😈😳😳🤩😍(and yes i would do the same if i had possibilities to care for them babies 😔😔😓) ...
Also, it's quite ironic that the "chiefs" claim that twins are a curse and should be kept away, yet they don't mind having a doctor to treat them who is a twin.
Kenetrice Nichole ikr!
It's not ironic, it's that they are hypocrites. They want the best for themselves, and don't give a crap about the babies and children they are condemning. They are monsters and should be stripped of their power and made outcast themselves.
Kenetrice Nichole Please tell me where you saw this doctor operating on patients that weren't twins, bc that's all I saw. There are people that were interviewed that don't believe in this taboo either. For example; the care-givers of the abandoned twins. Please, delete your senseless comment. Your lack of focus, as well as listening skills shines through.
Oli Egert, the doctor himself clearly stated that all of the chiefs have come to him to get treated for ailments.
Are you really asking for reason and logic ?
This documentary moves me deeply, I didn't know about that tradition in that area of Madagascar. Sadly, as I am watching this, I learn that the Freddy hurricane is about to strike Madagascar tomorrow in that precise area, Mananjary 😔. I pray that nothing bad will happen to these children, and that they'll be safe.
I'm a twin and this is horrible 😞 it's a blessing to have twins and in their village it's a curse. The poor children don't deserve this. I hope they have a good life and the mother is well
'keeping twins is like eating shit'
finding it hard to respect you as a human, let alone an elder, fella
My feelings too. I was just so angry when he compared twins to "eating shit". The only people who are shit are the ones abandoning newborns because of something they had no control over.
Lack of empathy; heartless!
So sad
Not being mean but I feel like those stupid chiefs should be the ones to be killed since they're already old anyway...and with their useless idiotic ancestral rules. Any ancestor that doesn't protect or wish the living well,then definitely that's an evil ancestor
That part! Millions of lives left in the hands of sniveling, cruel and uncaring men...😡😔😢
All the twins are absolutely beautiful
jj5151 everyone is beautiful
+hubert_da_besta _69 Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.... Sir
@@meloll0766 not really
Kay O true
I think the teacher Juliet and the baby Neavo (sp) will be the ones to break the taboo. There's such a beautiful energy there, such hope. "To Rise" is such a wonderful meaning. I hope the tribe can rise up and heal from a very old wounding and trauma. Being attacked and killed when trying to rescue a baby must have taken a heavy emotional toll on them.
Thanks for heightened this awareness
The woman who adopted the baby is a teacher... so, you can see what study makes in someone’s life...
I love how the second woman named all 6 of her twins with names that start with a C.💗☺️

😀I was also pleased. One of them has my name and I have been successful in life hanging on to my Bible the words of God.
@@CaroleStlouis why are you bringing religion into this
How can someone blame someone's death to a new born child?
I have a twin. It saddens me to learn that in the other part of the world, we can be considered as curse. Bless these women for not turning their back to their children.
God bless that ladies heart for taking care of those children. It’s interesting to see all the different beliefs about twins being born around the world
Jeez, they probably bring torches when it's triplets.
😂
Burn them at the stake for their terrible crime of being born 🤬
@Speaking Truth That's not the point.
Lol
What is so mind blowing is that if these villagers chiefs read the bible they would have known multiple births existed during biblical times ( twins in particular).
The village elders are too scared of loosing their power. Old people guided by vanity, greed, fear and ignorance.
You mean the chiefs? They're just stubborn old men who don't care about women and children and don't like progress. Men being the key word there.
Those twin babies are beautiful. May the Most High bless them and keep the safe for the rest of their lives. May they also bring blessing and good fortune to those who are taking care of them.
Awwww so sad...beautiful children wishing all the mums that have twins a good and happy life xxx
Those elders are disgusting hypocrites. Spurn the mothers that refuse to give up their twins but go to a doctor who is a twin to treat their ailments. The petty part of me wants these twins to become rich and successful and rub it in their faces
sesshokitten I had the same thought !
They are cowards. Convincing people to hate little children, who have done no harm in the world and lie through their teeth, if it suits them. What a bunch of filth. I am happy, that tne mothers are not so retarded. They fight for their children. They show their strength, while the "elders" demonstrate their weaknes.
The part when the ancestor said parents that keep their twins are soul less i think thats the word he used
When they started laughing and said something about them being shit and soulless I wanted to jump in my computer and donkey kick each one in their face
I cant help but wonder how many twins did not make it to the shelter.....
@Yvonne Blake I'm talking about the twins who were born and then dumped somewhere to die, hardly a "strange" act. Don't bloody bring race into this either. We aren't talking about black people, we r talking about these ppl ffs
😥
Yvonne Blake just stfu. who is talking about Race here? these are babies abandoned by their own people because of some screwed up tradition and belief and you are talking black white yellow. no one deserves this.
@Yvonne Blake calm down
I am thinking the same😂😂
It's amazing how culture keeps people together and separates at the same time. It's certain that this community values family over things which is beautiful but it comes at a price. I'm glad the twins have kind and caring people watching over them when they are giving up and they aren't harmed. However, I'm sure the children adopted to families outside of the community will have questions of their origin one day and seek to find answers. Maybe the taboo will be broken when they see the twins doing well or maybe not because people don't want to face their guilt.
Twins can be a blessing. They are so adorable. These children and their parents deserve more.
Twins are a blessing 😢
@@Loumainsmy sister had twins and she's only getting happier since 2 years now.
The "catcher orphanage" was the greatest thing...how sweet of an organization to bring all those babies to be loved and cared for.. That warmed my ❤️😘😘😘
They laughed at her question ' do you not care about the innocent children ' that was disturbing...
Buse Vickers , WICKEDNESS in motion!!! Superstition, fear is not of Holy God(LOVE)!!! All the ancestors are "DEAD!!!" THEY NO LONGER HAVE A VOICE!!! THE IGNORANCE IS RAMPART!!!

Buse Vickers Yes they did, that was the bellies of hell LAUGHING, did you really observe all of those men, how they seemed to enjoy the question!!! That is because they might not truly care about the "LIE!!!" BUT IF THE STUPID, WITCH CRAFTED MINDED PEOPLE ARE DUMB ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THE LIE AND DO WHAT WE SAY!!! OH WELL..........TOO BAD FOR THOSE BABIES!!! OH WELL...LET'S SEE IF THEY SURVIVE!!!,
Buse Vickers ... they are devilish and demonic demons!!! What person with a real soul talks bad about BABIES!!!
maria johannesen, Greetings to you in the name of Jesus Christ!!! ...you mean the ignorance!!! Being blind to the Way(SON) of the Holy God(true Love)!!! The Holy Scriptures refers to it being "the blindness of men's hearts!!!" Amen!!! But there is no longer an excuse because Jesus the Christ has come and declared Himself to be "the Light of the world!!!" Amen!!! In another place it is written...And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

AMEN!!! SINCE THE COMING OF JESUS CHRIST THERE IS NO LONGER A CLOAK FOR ANY MAN'S SIN!!! AMEN!!! NO MAN, MALE OR FEMALE!!! FOR IT IS WRITTEN... If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.

This video gives me endless goosebumps
I am so happy for Juliet. She is a wonderful human being with a truly beautiful soul. I call forth abundant Joy,v peace and success at every turn! That woman who has three sets of twins is so blessed! I hope that someone tells her how many women would give anything to be able to just have one set of twins in other parts of the world.
These precious children are so beautiful and there lies absolutely matter! F*** some stupid taboo that a bunch of uneducated old people came up with. I respect cultures and religions that are different from my own, but I cannot respect or condone ANY culture or religion that advocates harming or killing others,ESPECIALLY children!
