Do you see your child as broken? In need of some repair to make them like the rest? Many of us transition through that phase when we find out our child has a disorder or chronic condition. I have even seen families that seem stuck in that moment of horror. Not accepted the truth of the situation, yearning to wake from the dream.
Here is an article by Albert Mohler on a family that found out they were having twins. One of the twins had Down Syndrome and other congenital problems. They went in to have a selective abortion. The dr aborted the “wrong baby”. THEY WERE BOTH THE WRONG BABY TO TERMINATE!!
Prenatal diagnosis is terribly hard to deal with. Mom is hormonal and already emotionally loaded. Dad is concerned about both his beloved and his child. Then a dr calmly walks into the room and smacks you with a diagnosis and horrible statistics to go with it. You are often urged to induce and go into early labor, or to have a termination. “You’re healthy you can try again.” is what the medical community will assure you.
Does that mean this child is nothing? Yes, to the medical community you produced a mistake that an abortion rectifies. I had to fight for my child’s remains. The L&D nurse told me that the tissue had been thrown out with that days medical waste. The Lord stayed a dr’s hand and we able to get my child’s remains. Thank you Lord.
This one of the reasons I stepped forward to speak years ago. My beautiful Sarah needed her story told.
This is one of my speaker options:
My beautiful Sarah This is a very pro life message. I talk about the brief but incredibly powerful life of my daughter Sarah. We found out that Sarah had a rare birth defect that meant she would be dead during pregnancy or die shorty after wards. As a scared young couple my husband and I thought we had no choice but to induce the pregnancy. Sarah’s powerful, silent message led my family to Christ and to be born again. I encourage those dealing with or supporting poor prognosis pregnancies to find their strength in God. I also encourage the listener to depend on the Lord for their path no matter the obstacle.
Please pray for this family. I do not know if they had the abortion for the remaining child with the Down Syndrome or not. I pray they stopped when the true horror of what they were doing settled in. Please share in love to others facing a prenatal diagnosis. You may be the one voice urging them to continue a pregnancy that is troubled.
There are parents that will happily adopt children that have severe medical issues. I follow a wonderful organization that helps families The Sheperd’s Crook I have no affiliation with this group other than I pray for them. I do know that they run on a shoe string budget trusting that God will see their needs met every month. If you are so moved please consider donating to this organization.
Take care my friends. I pray that today was the last day of the horrible abortion industry.
