Sonia Salinas Fierros, the mother of the girls, remained unaware for a considerable period that she was carrying Siamese twins. Since her pregnancy was stable, she did not visit the clinic frequently.
In the spring of 2005, Sonia started feeling unwell and decided to see a doctor. It was then that she received the surprising news that her future daughters would be born conjoined. Sonia and her husband Federico made the decision to temporarily move from Mexico to the USA to consult a clinic in Los Angeles regarding the possibilities of separating the girls. Unfortunately, they couldn’t return to their home country before the birth.
On 2 August 2005, twin girls Renata and Regina were born, and they captured the attention of medical experts. It was discovered that they shared many organs, making the separation procedure incredibly challenging. However, the specialists at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles embarked on preparations for the separation, which took nearly 10 months. On 14 June 2006, a team of 80 professionals worked tirelessly for 22 hours to successfully separate Renata and Regina.

Throughout the entire procedure, Sonia and Federico anxiously awaited the outcome. Thankfully, it was a success, and the following night, each girl slept in her own bed, no longer sharing the same space as before. News of the successful separation of the Siamese twins from Mexico quickly made headlines around the world, bringing global recognition to Regina and Renata. Despite the newfound fame, the girls’ parents chose to lead a modest and quiet life, declining most invitations to appear on television shows.
Now approaching their 18th birthday, the twins reside in Mexico with their parents and are pursuing higher education. Renata, seen wearing a red dress in a picture, experiences minor back problems that affect her mobility. However, she is undergoing medical procedures that are expected to restore her full health. The remarkable efforts of the doctors and the unwavering support of their parents have enabled Renata and Regina to lead fulfilling lives. Their journey serves as an inspiration to many.
