Woman Gets Pregnant After 10 Years; 4 Days Later, Doctor Calls

After trying to conceive for 10 years, a woman finally got pregnant. However, celebrations would be short-lived. Within four days of finding out she was expecting, she went from the high of anticipating the birth of the baby she had tried so hard to conceive to an unfathomable low after receiving a call from her doctor.

After a history of miscarriages, Carolyn Savage and her husband, Sean, turned to in vitro fertilization in the hopes of having a fourth child. Much to their delight, it had seemingly worked. Carolyn was finally pregnant.

Sadly, within four days of receiving the news, the Sylvana, Ohio, couple would have their entire world turned upside down as they learned the frozen embryo of another couple had been mistakenly transferred into Carolyn’s womb…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Faced with the embryo mix-up, Carolyn had an unimaginable choice to make. Carolyn could choose to abort or the Savages could fight for custody of the baby once it was born.

Due to her strong Catholic faith, abortion was out of the question for Carolyn, who chose to carry the baby that she and Sean called “Little Man.” However, after carrying the baby to term, Carolyn decided the baby was not hers to keep and made the most selfless decision she could ever make.

On September 24, 2009, the Savages held their newborn son for 30 minutes and then returned him to his biological parents, Shannon and Paul Morell of Sterling Heights, Michigan. The Morells, who had maintained a respectful relationship with the Savages throughout Carolyn’s pregnancy, named him Logan.

Although the Savages considered it a “gift” to return Logan to his biological parents, they admitted that the horrific mistake tore apart their lives. Carolyn was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder after the delivery, and their marriage was under tremendous strain, prompting them to seek counseling.

Eventually, the Savages decided to share their long, painful, and somewhat “ambiguous loss” in a book titled “Inconceivable,” in which they shared their unusual journey and what it was like to grieve a baby who didn’t die. Although their son had not died, he was gone, and it was a loss they felt deeply.

“We have three children. Or do we have four? A strange question, but the kind that parents who have lost a child ask themselves from time to time. That absent child is always with you, a loss you feel some days as yearning and other days in a gasp of pain,” Carolyn wrote. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“This was a child whom I nurtured and we both protected from the forces conspiring against his survival,” she added in the book’s prologue. “Yet I understand that I may never hold him in my arms again and that the next time I see him, he will think of me as a stranger.”

The Morells also wrote a book, titled “Misconception,” in which they described their own harrowing wait, knowing that with Carolyn’s past history of miscarriages, their child might never be born, according to ABC. Thankfully, however, the Morells’ wait ended with the birth of a son—their “miracle baby,” while the Savages’ painful experience and grief were only just beginning.

While some may not understand the feeling of loss the Savages experienced since the child Carolyn carried had no biological connection to them, the grieving mother was able to put into words what she had felt for the child who grew inside her.

“He’ll always be my baby, even though he’s their son,” Carolyn said. “There was no way of entering into a pregnancy and taking a 12-cell embryo and turning it into a human being and not feel a maternal connection to him.”

The Savages and Morells are not the first or the last to suffer an “ambiguous loss.” In fact, the term has been coined by Dr. Pauline Boss, an emeritus professor at the University of Minnesota who described the ambiguity in her book “Ambiguous Loss.”

The term is used to describe a loss that isn’t clear, such as when a person goes missing and might be presumed dead, but their body has not been found. Examples include when people get lost at sea or children are kidnapped without a trace.

An “ambiguous loss” happens when we have no physical body to confirm that a death has happened, but the person is no longer with us physically. “It’s a loss that has no closure,” Dr. Boss, a pioneer in the interdisciplinary study of family stress management, explained.

“People have a difficult time resolving this,” she added. “There are no rituals or sympathy cards for them.” In this case, there are also no “thank you” cards that could adequately express the gratitude the Morells must feel for the Savages and the gift of their son, but we are sure it is felt every time they look into their child’s eyes.

Racist Cops Handcuff Black Female General, Her Call to Pentagon Destroyed Their Careers –

Published

The handcuffs clicked shut with a sound like a gunshot in the quiet street.

“You’re resisting arrest,” the cop snarled, twisting the Black woman’s arm behind her back.

Bystanders gasped as she was forced onto the hood of the cruiser, her military-sharp posture never faltering.

Then, in a voice like steel, she said, “You have no idea who you just handcuffed. But in 20 minutes, these two officers would beg for their careers back.”

And in an hour, the Pentagon would make sure they never wore a badge again.

General Naomi Carter was used to command, not compliance.

A decorated war strategist, she had just returned from a classified overseas mission and was on her way to debrief at the Pentagon when she stopped for coffee…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

She had spent her life fighting battles—just not the kind where the enemy wore a blue uniform.

The cops had been watching her since she stepped out of her car.

“Suspicious vehicle,” one muttered, eyeing her luxury sedan.

When she questioned their unnecessary stop, they escalated.

“You fit a description.”

Then came the cuffs, the shove, the condescending smirk.

That’s when Naomi stopped being just a citizen.

“Let me make a call,” she demanded.

The taller cop laughed. “You ain’t calling nobody.”

But Naomi had memorized emergency protocols better than they’d memorized their own badges.

With her hands restrained, she recited a series of numbers to a horrified bystander. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“Dial it now.”

The phone rang twice before a voice answered: “Pentagon secure line.”

The cops froze. Then came the words that turned their blood to ice.

“This is General Carter. Badge numbers 4,872 and 5,193 just detained me unlawfully. I need immediate confirmation of their authority.”

For the first time, doubt flickered in the officer’s eyes.

The dispatcher’s radio erupted with panic.

“All units, stand down. Stand down.”

Backup arrived, but not for them.

The chief’s voice cracked over the comms. “You just cuffed a Pentagon-level officer. God help you.”

Naomi stood straight as her cuffs were removed.

The cops stammered apologies, but she simply picked up the phone.

“Secretary, I want their records audited. Every stop. Every complaint.”

Then to the officers: “You targeted the wrong woman today.”

By sundown, the officers were suspended. By week’s end, charged.

And as Naomi walked into the Pentagon the next morning, the news played footage of their perp walk.

Proof that even generals in street clothes outrank prejudice.

One of death row’s oldest inmates gave scathing final words before execution by lethal injection –

Published

By

 

Oscar Franklin Smith, a 75-year-old man who had been on death row for decades, was executed in Tennessee by lethal injection. He was found guilty of murdering his wife, Judith Robirds Smith, and her two teenage sons, Chad and Jason Burnett, back in 1989.

But even as he was about to die, Oscar kept saying he didn’t do it. He claimed he was innocent, and he never changed his story in all the years he spent in prison. Just before the execution, he spoke out strongly, criticizing the justice system and the governor of Tennessee, Bill Lee.

He said the system is broken and doesn’t always get it right. He believed that not only was he innocent, but that there are other men like him still sitting in prison, waiting to die for crimes they didn’t commit. He said the governor is foolish if he doesn’t see that. Oscar’s last words included the phrase “I didn’t kill her,” which he reportedly said several times before he died. He was declared dead at 10:47 a.m…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

Oscar had been given a temporary delay in 2022, when the governor called off the execution at the last minute. But that decision was reversed later, and the execution went ahead. Even though he had lived over three decades after the crime while maintaining his innocence, the courts and the state stood by the original conviction.

After Oscar’s death, the family of the victims spoke to reporters. Judith’s sister, Terri Osborne, said losing her sister and two nephews had left a permanent wound. She said the pain of that loss will always stay with their family. No matter how much time passes, it still hurts deeply.

Terri also used the moment to talk about the issue of domestic violence. She said the murders are a tragic reminder of what can happen in abusive relationships. She wanted people who are in danger at home to know that they are not alone. She understood how hard it is to leave someone who is abusive, but she hoped this tragedy would push others to find safety and support. She also said she hopes more help and resources can be made available to people who are living in fear or dealing with abuse.

Her brother, Mike Robirds, also spoke. He said that no one should have to live the way their sister did — in fear. And no family should have to go through the heartbreak that they have endured. Their words were full of sadness, but also a message of hope for others who might still be suffering in silence.

People in shock after hearing bizarre leaked audio from Trump’s new head of Social Security reacting to job offer –

Published

By

 

Frank Bisignano, a former executive from Wall Street, has just taken on a major role leading the Social Security Administration—a huge federal agency that handles benefits for over 70 million Americans. But it turns out he was just as surprised by the job offer as everyone else.

In a meeting with Social Security managers from across the country, held on May 21, Bisignano openly admitted that he hadn’t been looking for a new job and had no idea he was being considered for such a major government role. A recording of this meeting was leaked, and it’s left a lot of people both amused and concerned.

In the audio, Bisignano talks about how he got a phone call out of the blue about the Social Security job. He said he wasn’t job hunting at all, and once he heard about the position, he had to start Googling to figure out what exactly the commissioner of Social Security does. He even joked that he’s one of the best Googlers on the East Coast. At one point, he said something like, “What the heck is the commissioner of Social Security?” showing just how unexpected the appointment was for him…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Ironically, during that same meeting, he complained about people leaking information to the media—while the very meeting itself ended up getting leaked. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Despite the jokes and the lighthearted way he presented himself, many people online didn’t take it well. On social media, some users mocked him for appearing clueless about the job and accused the Trump administration of giving important positions to people who aren’t qualified. One person sarcastically said he must be relying on the “fake it till you make it” approach. Another commented that having actual experience seems to be a disqualifier when it comes to getting hired in the Trump team.

Others, however, defended Bisignano. Some argued that you don’t need a PhD or deep government experience to run the Social Security Administration. Instead, they pointed out that what the agency really needs is someone with real leadership experience—someone who knows how to run big organizations and get results. They said Bisignano fits that bill, having led billion-dollar companies and managed large teams.

All in all, Bisignano’s surprise and honesty about not knowing much about the job have drawn mixed reactions. While some people think it’s refreshing or even funny, others are worried that such an important agency is being led by someone who admits he had to Google what the job even is.
