    Heartbreaking! Maybe if she had support and EVERYONE saw the children as blessings she would not have made the choice to abandon the first set and get sterilized after the last,you can tell both those things were hard for her.

    such a shame for her,its amazing that someone can have 6 sets of twins! i cant believe they kill one of the twins to break "a curse",very sad how the precious gift God gives is seen as such a thing

    I have heard of all kinds of crazy things that about some cultures.... some leave a baby in the woods or throw it in the river if it is a twin, has a birth defect, and was born during a certain time (month, moon, weather, or famine). People believe these things can affect the persons soul... twins means a shared soul, defect means cursed soul.

    If my DS2 would have been born to one of these type of cultures who knows what would have happened.... he was born with an ear tag that is 1/4in x 3/4in. It has been removed recently but to us he is a perfect wild over active boy but to others he may have been cursed. Personnal I blamed myself because I cursed God for giving me another boy and God gave my son a small defect. Defect or not I love that little pain in the butt!
