We were advised by several different doctors to terminate when our daughter was diagnosed with Spina Bifida at 20wks. I have taken her back to these doctors and also keep them updated via e-mail. However I still need to Find the right words for the genetics specialist... I am hoping to do so by our daughters 1st birthday. I thank God every day for our angel, she is nothing like the diagnosis we were given. You can view her story on benotafraid.net under Spina Bifida stories. Much love to you all, Melinda, proud mom to Abigael Hannah, born Sept 11, 2009 Hi Arnie & Tricia

It's infuriating! I'm so glad you send him a constant reminder that he should think twice with other parents he will encounter - Olivia is a beautiful, thriving little girl!
