The Dao and Duan Siamese Twins Information Page

                                      Duan (left) and Dao in costume for a class play in 1996.

    I am the adoptive father of Dao and Duan, now Katie and Julie.  NOVA has contacted my wife and me about our willingness to provide information about the girls since the NOVA program on conjoined twins originally aired in 1995.

    We are posting these pages because we understand that there are both curiosity and genuine interest in what happened to the girls.  We will provide information, but we shall be chary with identifying information, e.g., the specific city/town we live in, in order to provide privacy to both the girls and the rest of the family.  I will be happy to provide what the girls and the family consider appropriate information through e-mail.  If you have questions, please click the icon below.    

   For the girls' story, which they have read and approved to share, click here.

    If you are interested in a transcript of the Emmy Award winning NOVA program about Dao and Duan, entitled Siamese Twins click here.

     Check the photo album; it's in progress.
