Faith Isabella Wilson was a child who was very much wanted and prayed for. Every Life Counts<\/a>, a support network for parents who receive a fatal prenatal diagnosis in Ireland, shared Faith’s story in a recent Facebook post<\/a>. Her parents were thrilled to be expecting and then devastated when they learned that their preborn child was missing part of her skull and was diagnosed with anencephaly. She was not expected to survive at birth and her parents momentarily wondered if they should abort as doctors had offered.<\/p>\n

“I was very angry on the Wednesday, the day before going in to speak with the consultant,” said Faith’s mom. “I just, I guess I questioned what do I do? Do I carry this baby? Do we terminate? And I actually just went down to the bedroom and I prayed really hard – really really hard. And God just spoke to me and said, ‘You have to carry this baby.’ And I’m so glad we did because she’s here now.”<\/p>\n
