The journey of two friends through the Valley of Weeping... and the HOPE and JOY we share from the other side.
about us
In the spring of 2006 we found out we were both expecting our third child and due within three weeks of each other. Kristin's son Noah was diagnosed prenatally with a fatal syndrome, but defying all odds, was born alive, lived 1 hour and 42 minutes, and was loved into eternity by his mommy and daddy. Jen's son Owen was diagnosed prenatally, just three months after Noah's diagnosis, with multiple birth defects. At first doctors thought his condition would be fatal as well, but Owen has defied the doctors' predictions and has faced his many challenges with a smile. Two years after Noah died Kristin and her husband found out they were expecting again. They were thrilled to find out it was a girl and devastated to find out that her heart had not formed properly. Her diagnosis, a "random" birth defect, was not at all linked to Noah's genetic disorder. Doctors suggested terminating these "defective" babies to both of us. Time and time again God has proven his sovereignty, power and mercy to us and many others through these two little boys and precious little girl. We hope and pray that through them you will understand God's deep love for you and every human life.

Hi Jen and Kristin,
Thank you for sharing your stories even though it is so painful to share. I'm sure you touched many lives at the banquet the other night. I know you both have touched my life! Kristin, you were an inspiration when I went through my miscarriages and Jen, Owen helped me to be open to adopting a child with cleft lip and palate. Thank you both for being willing to be used by God!
