For McKayla Kennard, the connection between her and her younger sister, Adrianna Kennard, has always been strong, but their children will now be forever linked as well as they share both the same birthday and birthplace.
“I think we are honestly closer right now than ever, but we’ve always been close,” McKayla said. “We obviously grew up together but when I moved out, she moved in with me for a little while, and as we’ve grown as adults and experienced pregnancy together, our relationship has only gotten stronger.”
McKayla and Adrianna gave birth hours apart at McKayla’s Akron home last month − utilizing the same birthing pool in her dining room.
“We had been saying the whole time that we would be having ‘cousin twins’ and give birth on the same day, all while knowing we don’t have any control over this,” McKayla said. “Our grandmother passed away from COVID in 2021 and we just told ourselves that this was all possible because of her.”
