"When Twinkle was born, she was only 60 grams. She was barely half the size of her siblings," Emilie shared.

Twinkle needed medical attention for a few health issues as a result of her rough start to life. She was fragile but continued to make strides each day.

At one week old, she surpassed the 100-gram mark, making her about the size of a newborn. "I didn't know if she'd make it past two days – or even two hours – when she was first born, so this is truly incredible."

As Twinkle grew in size and strength, Emilie hoped to reunite her with Lilah.
