My Child, My Gift

Timing Couldn't Be Better

 

The timing of your book couldn't be better. As of right now, women/couples are not given the available options when they receive the horrible news about their unborn baby. As was the case with me, I was told I "must terminate."

 

My doctor was extremely difficult the entire time. In retrospect, I realize that I took him down a road that he would rather not have traveled down, due to his own personal biases (and I'm sure also his fear of malpractice, etc).

 

With all the sophisticated prenatal testing available, women need and are entitled to hear ALL of their options, not only the termination option.

 

And if they choose to continue the pregnancy, they should be given the appropriate referrals for support.
