Devastated? OH MY GOSH! Don't let them be devastated! A spina bifida child is
as WONDERFULLY MADE as a "NORMAL" child. Their child will be so special in
every single way, it is hard to fathom the fantastic gift they will behold every
single day of the child's life. it would be such a horrible waste to destroy
something so God given as a child no matter what. I hope you can persuade this
couple to keep their special child. Please talk to them! Very important! We
must not snuff out a life just because we think they are 'below par".........the
child is going to be a true gift and would be so horrible to just give up before
he or she is even in this world........God bless you and the family that is
making this wonderful decision to KEEP the baby. I'm praying for all of the
family
