Parents of Conjoined Twins Speak

Over the next weeks and months a team of 50 doctors and nurses at University Hospitals will conduct a series of surgeries to separate twins joined at the head. The three-year-old girls came to the U.S. from Romania with their parents more than two years ago, hoping to have the procedure done at a Dallas hospital but doctors there eventually declined. The parents have guarded their privacy and shunned most of the news media but they made an exception granting several interviews last Friday, including one with ideastream's Dan Moulthrop. Dan asked Alin Dogaru, a Byzantine Catholic priest, and his wife Claudia, a nurse, about their fears as they await this high-risk surgery for their daughters.
