They saw a bubble on the umbilical cord and then they ordered an ambioscentisis. Remember it like it was yesterday. We had a day to decide whether to terminate the pregnancy. That was a fun ride home. Just trust me. The govt and you have now business in telling a family what they should do with their lives. Can any of you pro lifers think for a second the hidden resentment you would have if you were forced to care for a child that needed 24-7 nursing care? That HAS to be a decision YOU made not anybody else.

That's a pretty tough case. But I know a couple (very young, of course) who adopted a baby from Russia with no arms and no legs. That is pretty amazing. I couldn't be that good.

But I am thankful every day that my children's birth parents chose life. And one is special needs (not anywhere as extreme as that, but its been a challenge).
