Olivia’s Story –

A mom tells the story of her daughter’s short life and how they dealt with the grief of having a baby with anomalies incompatible with life, and how they took what was given and cherished it. What stands out for me is the Godliness of their OB:

Olivia’s Story – Telling Our Children: “We continued to see my regular OB, Dr. Harper and he was wonderful. He was very compassionate and such an understanding gentleman who was determined to accommodate our wishes. He is a man of noble character, a very godly gentleman who truly cared for us and this baby. From the beginning of her diagnosis, he saw Olivia as a human being and never once suggested terminating. I don�t believe he would ever suggest that in any circumstance. He saw us as a family facing adversity and could see the love we had for this baby. I know God chose Dr. Harper to walk this road with us. He shared with us that he had been praying for Olivia to be free from T18.”
