Amritsar, Aug 17: A charitable trust today announced it would adopt the conjoined babies who were born two months back in Delhi and abandoned by their parents. Bibi Inderjit Kaur, incharge of All India Pingalwara Trust, told reporters here that a team of doctors of All India Institute of Medical Science in Delhi visited them to impart guidance to look after the babies as they need extraordinary care.

She said that the baby boys were brought after completing necessary formalities for adoption.

The twins were born at Lady Hardinge Medical College, Delhi and immediately after birth were shifted to AIIMS for observation and certain medical examinations.
The twins have separate heads, chests, hearts, stomachs, lungs, spinal chord and kidneys but lower portion of their body is one with only two legs between them which undoubtedly diminishes all the possibilities of their separation through surgery.
Dr Jagdeepak Singh, assistant professor of the ENT Department of government medical college and trustee of the Pingalwara Trust, said their surgery for separation "is next to impossible" as one baby has a abnormal kidney. Moreover, their genital organ to pass out the urine and stool were also common.
Parents of the twins abandoned their sons when the team of doctors of AIIMS failed to convince them to take them back home.
