When I became pregnant with my second child, I had been on medications that would leave the child physically and mentally handicapped. The doctors said that she would be totally deformed and that her mental abilities would be close to non-functioning. They said the baby didn't have a chance and that I should abort it.

My husband and I told the doctors that we would proudly take what the Lord gave us.

Well, that little thing was a beautiful baby girl who grew up to be in the top 6 in her graduating class, president of her senior class, lettered in three sports all four years in HS, played on the all-state basketball team, went on to play college ball, and now is happily married with four children--age four and under. And to think that there was absolutely no chance that she would deliver healthy. Isn't modern medicine amazing in what they don't know.

Thank you so much for sharing your testimony here!!! Wow, what glory! Oh how I thank God that you had the faith and the wisdom to trust and obey! Sadly though, for every story like yours I hear - and I've heard many, many like it - there are stories of those who are not alive to God in Christ and did not know any better than what the doctors told them. May eyes to see be granted them.

And may your daugter's entire life always resound with praises, graces and testimonies to His power! Amen!

We had a very similar situation.

13 years ago we found out our child was not growing within the womb (Inter-uterine growth retardation). We were told by the "experts" that if the child was continued to live it would probably be born with severe handicapping conditions. They recommend we abort.

My wife and I knew that was out of the question. 3 months later, after my wife was put on bed rest, we had a baby girl, through Cesarean.

She is about to turn 14 in a month. She is going into 8th grade, is energetic, happy, and very normal, albeit small for her age.

She's our miracle baby, and best of all, she defied all the "expert" opinions.
