Thank you for your post.
My son is unborn and about 3 months from delivery.
The sonogram shows a cleft lip.
The doctors kept insisting that we do amniocentesis to see if there is a chromosome problem.
There are no other indicators that there is any problem with this baby.
We have no genetic history of this, and two healthy and beautiful children ages 7 and 5.
I told the doctor no we aren’t taking the test.
We will love him until the day he dies or we die, but we aren’t going to kill him.
They admitted everything else looks good and the lip can easily be repaired.
I am horrified that people would decide these children aren’t worth it. And that is an understatement.
We believe he is going to be just fine, but will have to go through some surgeries.
That is just part of taking care of your kids as far as I’m concerned.
Anyway his name is Reagan, and im asking fellow freepers to please keep him in your prayers.
God bless you. Prayers are on the way.
May God bless you, your family, and your new son!!!
I'm happy to do so.
May God grant your son and the rest of your family health, strength, and peace of mind to deal with whatever problems there may be, and may they be resolved satisfactorily without too much trouble. Bless you for your decision.
I’ll be pleased to pray for Reagan, and I know he’ll be repaired good as new shortly after birth. Worry not, dear parents, he’ll be wonderful.
I’m Grandma to a 3 week old baby girl named Reagan. Her 3 year old brother was born with spina bifida, a serious birth defect of the spine that has cost him normal use of his legs and many other problems. He is a beautiful, smart, happy boy. We can’t imagine our lives without him, and his existence has blessed many people.
We must make sure the lives of such little ones are protected from the bureaucratic minions in a national healthcare system.
