PURPOSE: this is a PRO-LIFE, full-term anencephaly support forum. We provide information, support, and most of all a safe haven to families of babies with anencephaly; members are currently carrying, or have carried to term, or have carried as long as they physically could. Relatives, friends and professionals who have been touched by anencephaly are welcome. Our Christian faith is freely expressed here. This is not a religious debate forum. We respect the sanctity of life from conception to natural death!

Because feelings and hormones run high in the early stages of grief, we are sorry to say that those who have chosen elective termination (immediate delivery of the pregnancy) will find their needs better met at the MSN group Mourning Mommies, which is open to all those who lost or are carrying a baby with anencephaly. You may find it at
http://groups.msn.com/group/mourningmommies
and many members here also participate there. We have made this decision not from a place of judgment but in order to better meet the needs of our most fragile members.

If you would like to join but have questions, please feel free to email one of the moderators at tabris02@verizon.net.

We are very sorry you have a need to be here, but we are very glad you found us.
