A Mother’s Defiant Love: One in a Million Miracles
Six times.
SIX TIMES doctors offered me abortion.
My identical twin girls — Charlotte & Annette — carried an extra chromosome. One in a million rarity.
Yet the specialists didn’t see miracles. They saw “problems.” Heart defects. “Termination” options. Repeatedly.

They offered condolences before my babies even took their first breath.
I sat silent in those cold rooms, heart screaming:
“I’m THRILLED! These are my daughters!”
We refused every test. We didn’t need labels — only life.
In 2018, against every grim prediction, our girls arrived naturally. No emergency C-section. No immediate surgery.
One heart healed itself. The other was mended later. Pure gratitude flooded our souls.
Today, our home rings with giggles, wobbly first steps, and endless chases after our dog Max.
Smaller, slower? Yes. But bursting with joy, love, and light — just like any toddler.
To every parent facing that devastating diagnosis:
See the CHILD, not the chromosome.

To every doctor: Offer HOPE, not despair.
My girls are not burdens. They are blessings.
If I could choose again — 100 times over — I’d choose THEM. Exactly as they are.
Our one-in-a-million miracles.
Chosen. Cherished. Loved beyond words.
