Deanna and her angels
I
have lost many babies, so many little lights going out before their time. I have
also, between the losses, had two healthy girls, Emily Faith and Elizabeth
Grace.
I began the site in 1998. I had already resigned my job as a teacher to be a full-time mom. When I lost Casey at 20 weeks, I had no baby, no job, no way to fill my time while I searched for work, so I learned how to make web pages and put up a memorial site for Casey.
When my genetic testing failed and I realized I would forever regret having surgery rather than labor and delivery, I decided I needed to help others with their decision--make sure they knew not just the medical issues, but also the emotional implications of their choices. The site grew and grew and along the way, I realized--that boy Casey, he really made a difference!
Woman often ask how they can support this site. I don't take donations, and I simply pay for all the costs of it myself. If you want to help with that, if you shop at Amazon already, simply click on any Amazon link on this site before you buy anything and we'll get 5% of the sale. Here's a handy search box for you!
I am so glad you found us, and I am so grateful to have this community.
