To our parents, we will always be the most beautiful children in the world. And this most often is true regardless of what the rest of the world says.

Sarah and Chris were no different. The young parents stood firmly by their son like a rock when people gave him disgusted stares.

Not just that, they treated this opportunity as a blessing to spread awareness about the condition their son, Brody, was born with.
When the lovely couple went for their 24-week ultrasound they learned that there was something unusual with their baby. Their baby had a bilateral cleft lip and palate.

But the couple wasn’t stunned, instead, they decided to welcome him in their lives when doctors asked if they want to go ahead with the pregnancy…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Sarah also decided that they will use this opportunity to educate people and change the way people look at babies with cleft lips. And she was proud of her baby. She told Today, “It is OK to be proud of your baby no matter the circumstances. We wanted to change what ultrasound/newborn/ first-year pictures on our social media accounts looked like. We wanted to spread awareness of cleft lips and palates.”

When the tissues do not get fused during pregnancy, it results in a condition wherein babies are born with cleft lips and palates. While many babies are born with this condition, not many people know about its reason and the parents are often met with judgement.
Babies born with cleft lips and palates cannot eat or speak or even breathe without undergoing multiple surgeries. Even after the procedure is complete, the child has to undergo therapy to learn how to speak and eat.

When Sarah started posting photos of Brody and discussing his condition she got discouraging messages, some of them were also hurtful. One even said, “What’s wrong with his face?” Now, any parent would be distraught to see such insensitive comments about their baby.Sarah, however, focused on the bigger picture. She did not let impulsiveness carry her away, instead, she started educating people about cleft lips and palate. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Sarah, however, focused on the bigger picture. She did not let impulsiveness carry her away, instead, she started educating people about cleft lips and palate. “I decided to educate rather than create a confrontation because that is what I want Brody to do in the future.

I will want him to educate, to be an advocate for younger cleft kids who don’t have their own voice yet.” There were instances when Sarah was met with kindness when she least expected. She recalled an incident when she was out to dinner with a few of her girlfriends and she received a folded napkin from a server.

She thought someone sent her a note, but when she opened it she felt stunned. There was a check for $1,000 with the note in the memo line, “For the beautiful baby.”

“Tears fell from my eyes immediately and the happiness my heart felt is indescribable,” she said. Sarah and Chris used some of the money for Brody’s treatment which included multiple surgeries. But this incident made the couple realize that the world is a kind place. While some would be bitter, there are so many others who are empathetic and helpful.

But this incident made the couple realize that the world is a kind place. While some would be bitter, there are so many others who are empathetic and helpful. “The generosity of a complete stranger restored our faith in humanity,” Sara Heller, then 26, told TODAY. “Being Brody’s parent has taught me that people care.

Strangers all over the country want to hear his story, and they want to pray for him.” She added, “This experience has shown us just how strong the cleft community is. We’ve been contacted by people all over the country … they are praying for us and asking us to reach out if we need anything.”
With his parents’ undying support and help from the community, Brody has grown up to be a jolly child with a bright smile (SEE PHOTO). And we hope his smile goes on to become a ray of hope for many.

Nicola and Todd Bailey, a British couple from Sheffield, had a cozy life with their four-year-old son, Lucas. However, a deep-seated desire to expand their family was always on their minds.

Nicola, who worked part-time as a nurse at a community health center, and Todd, an experienced real estate agent, were financially secure and eager to bring more children into their world.

One summer evening, sitting on their porch, Nicola and Todd found themselves discussing their future. Their conversation centered on Lucas, their beloved son, and the possibility of him having siblings.

Nicola had been an only child herself and understood the occasional loneliness that came with it. She didn’t want Lucas to grow up alone, and so the idea of having more children resonated strongly with her…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Their hearts full of love for Lucas and a desire to see him enjoy the unique bond of having siblings, they decided to expand their family. Todd enthusiastically expressed his desire to build a larger family with Nicola, who he adored deeply.

The couple spent the rest of that night dreaming about their future children and how they would play together in their garden. Little did they know their dreams would soon become a reality.

The Baileys didn’t have to wait long for their lives to be filled with joy. A mere five months after that heartfelt conversation, Nicola had a dizzying moment. She collapsed to the floor and was immediately rushed to the hospital. While Todd was initially concerned, they quickly discovered the cause of her dizziness – she was pregnant.

Ecstatic, they returned home and immediately shared the joyful news with Lucas. He was thrilled to learn that he would soon be a big brother.

The prospect of having a sibling filled him with excitement, and he bombarded his parents with questions about his unborn sibling. The family was enveloped in happiness, their hearts full of anticipation for the new addition.

However, their journey was not without its challenges. During her pregnancy, Nicola started to feel unwell. She became incredibly fatigued, experienced frequent dizziness, and her body felt unusually heavy.

As a nurse, she recognized that something was amiss and insisted that Todd take her to the hospital. This decision likely saved their unborn daughters’ lives. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

After a series of tests at the hospital, Nicola received unexpected news – she was pregnant with twins. The couple was overjoyed and promptly made the announcement to their son, Lucas. They explained that they were going to have twin sisters and received an enthusiastic response. Lucas was delighted by the thought of becoming a big brother to not one but two siblings.

Nicola’s pregnancy, however, became fraught with challenges. She had to be placed on bed rest, a tough task for someone as active as she was. The safety of both the mother and her twin daughters was of paramount concern, and the doctors ensured that she was in good hands.

Through her prenatal care, the Baileys learned the gender of their twins. They were to have two baby girls, and Nicola immediately knew what she wanted to name them – Harper and Quinn. Their hearts swelled with excitement as they envisioned the future of their family with their two daughters.

However, the story took an unexpected turn 38 minutes after Harper’s birth. The doctor returned to Nicola’s room with a solemn expression and revealed that Harper had Down syndrome, a genetic disorder. Nicola and Todd hadn’t known that their daughter had Down syndrome during the pregnancy, and this news was a revelation.

Though this revelation could have dampened their spirits, Nicola, a nurse with experience in caring for children with Down syndrome, welcomed it with open arms. Her knowledge and experience provided a unique perspective.

She knew that Harper would be unique in her own way and understood that Down syndrome would not limit her daughter’s potential or happiness. The couple decided to raise their daughters equally, ensuring Harper would receive the support she needed to thrive.

Despite the unexpected news, their love for Harper remained unconditional. Her condition didn’t change the way they saw her. Nicola and Todd went on to create an Instagram account to share their family’s journey. It became a platform for Nicola to raise awareness about Down syndrome, dispel societal prejudices, and, most importantly, share the joy of their growing family.

As they journeyed forward, the family embraced the uniqueness of their situation. Their story is a testament to the power of love and acceptance. Harper, Quinn, and Lucas are indeed a unique and loving family, demonstrating that love knows no genetic boundaries.

Nicola and Todd wouldn’t change their family for the world. They are proud of their unique and beautiful family, which has redefined their understanding of love and acceptance.

Published

Chick-fil-A is known for caring about the community wherever the restaurant is located.

Many of the managers hold fundraisers for organizations and people who are in need as well as those who are sick or who have lost family members and need a helping hand.

Meeting someone who is homeless often strikes a nerve to do something to try to help for many people. There are also those who tend to avoid helping the homeless.

One man stumbled into a Chick-fil-A in Tennessee, possibly looking for something to drink or just to get away from being outside for just a few moments.

The manager decided to do something a little special for the man.

When the homeless man entered the restaurant, he wanted to try to get a few scraps that would otherwise be thrown away…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

He wasn’t asking for money and didn’t ask the customers for any kind of assistance.

When he left the restaurant, he had a huge smile on his face because of the actions of the manager.

While the interaction was taking place, a father and his daughter were enjoying a meal at a nearby table. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The father made a social media post about the story so that others might be able to see how the homeless are treated and how simple actions can make a difference.

The daughter decided to trade the toy from her meal for ice cream.

As they waited for a few minutes for her ice cream to be prepared, they saw the exchange between the manager and the homeless man.

The man was wearing muddy shoes and looked tired. Most of the people in the restaurant tried to stay away from him.

Soon after the man entered the building, the manager talked to him and explained that he wanted to help. He was given a full meal instead of the scraps that he wanted.

The manager also prayed with the homeless man, touching his shoulder so that he would feel as though someone cared.

For some managers, they could have sent the man away, but this manager made a difference if only for a few moments in time.
