You are not alone in carring
your child with Trisomy 18 to term. This is what Grace’s
mom has to say to parents who have been given the adverse
prenatal diagnosis of Trisomy 18:
"My experience was that
she was a miracle, and not a diagnosis—she was
just a little baby. I am so blessed that I had the support
and faith to carry her. I know that in situations like
ours the pressure to terminate is so very great. I thank
God we didn't listen to the doctors the day she was
diagnosed. We would have missed out on the blessing
that she was. She is gently guiding me each and every
day to reach out and let other moms know that there
is hope.”
