Pregnancy does not end happily for everyone. Sadly, some parents receive grim prenatal news that something is seriously or fatally wrong
with their loved and wanted unborn baby. They have to make a decision about continuing or ending pregnancy. We realize that all parents make
a loving choice, one they feel is better for their baby. Regardless of the fetal anomaly found, the decision to end a pregnancy is always a
difficult one.
Although it is estimated that between 80 and 95 percent of parents receiving a severe prenatal diagnosis choose to end the pregnancy,
those who face this nightmare often feel alone. There is very little in the way of support programs for them. With this site and the
dedication of courageous parents willing to reach out, we hope to create a safe haven of encouragement, validation, hope and healing.
