[tri-med] a politician who just had a baby with Trisomy 18

Check out this article by former Senator Rick Santorum. It is not political.
He just had a baby, Bella, with T18 in May. That is when my Sarah was born.
I wonder what day Bella was born.

I especially love the last two paragraphs that I copied below:

"In a country where some politicians now promise to end suffering, and where
our usefulness seems to be measured in dollars, these special individuals
stand as complex, mysterious contradictions from a loving God. 
They remind us that it is not just our capacity to achieve, but our capacity
for sacrificial love that will change the character of America for the good.
And that character will inspire true hope - and that hope does not
disappoint."
