Wow! Thanks be to the Lord!
Beautiful story!!!
Love the Chris Tomlin song too!
It is! I think that there are devices that can help make her jaw develop correctly. Our next door neighbors’ son has a similar issue (in fact, it sounds very similar) that they have been working with since his birth. I think that he’s now about 13 or 14, very bright and sweet.
This was a beautiful story!! Giving God the glory through it all!
Too many stories are out there of doctors suggesting, pressuring or even bullying parents to get abortions based on a perceived poor prenatal diagnosis. I have read/heard numerous stories of the doctors’ errant diagnoses showing how fallible they and those tests are.
Even if the tests were correct, no one knows the actual severity of the malady or the exact future of that person’s life. Even if it was a situation of grave challenge...there are people who do want to adopt babies with special needs (such as Reeses Rainbow). Dismemberment of a human being is not the solution.
These babies, no matter how short or difficult their lives may be, deserve love and care.
These are great websites:
For those situations of actual poor prenatal diagnoses, perinatal hospice would be an option.

I always think about those babies that come out perfectly at birth. What if their problems came later in life...like age 1 or 3 or 6? What about an accident that would leave a child irreversibly injured?
Thanks, Wagglebee!
*thank you*. once again, parents are more hopeful and
determined than the “professionals”
