[tri-med] Re: Trisomy 18 on Oprah Winfrey


Sharon,

Its pretty amazing isn't it? The family has since gone on to have a healthy 
daughter.

I don't think that accepting, loving and caring for your baby the best you can 
needs to be consistent with any religious belief. It is innate for parents to 
love their babies. But they need so much support to do that. To be told that 
your unborn baby will one day die in your arms if they are lucky enough to be 
born alive has to be the most difficult position for anyone to be in. 

I hope that the increased awareness on Oprah will help others to have time with 
their babies, no matter how brief. 

Barb
