Our second son was born with CHARGE Syndrome a genetic disorder. Her OBGYN found an anomaly and called in a heart specialist who confirmed that he had heart issues. They had mentioned abortion, calling it termination, I was calm but emphatic that any further talk of killing my son would not be tolerated. Everyone deserves a fair chance in life.

He was a true joy for us. We had him for 25 months and he changed our lives for the better in every way.

Everyone has problems. Some peoples problems are more easy to seen than others.

God bless you and your family.
That sounds like a very difficult time and I can’t imagine the grief after bonding for over two years.
I feel like the bonding with my kids actually started before they were even born.
Our son has changed our perspectives and taught us a new way of cherishing life and all the blessings from God.
Thank you for speaking up for your son. I did it too and it takes courage to do so in the environment often presented by the medical community these days.
Without knowing you I can say with a high degree of confidence that God did things in you through your son that couldn’t have been done otherwise.
It’s these kinds if testimonies that need to get out so people will stop trying to play God through abortion.
When I learned that 92% of pregnancies with babies that have DS get aborted I was stunned. I knew it would be high, but 92%!
I’m trying to be a voice fir those who can’t speak for themselves.
Again God bless you and thank you for sharing.

My condolences on your loss, I can't imagine anything harder than losing a child.
