An Arizona mother is\u00a0celebrating<\/a>\u00a0with joy and gratitude after giving birth to a healthy 14-pound baby boy last week. Previously, she and her husband had suffered multiple miscarriages but hadn’t given up hope of having another child.<\/p>\n

Cary Patonai told\u00a0local ABC affiliate KNXV<\/a> that newborn Finnley is a miracle baby. She and her husband Tim were already parents to two young boys, but they suffered two miscarriages after their now-two-year-old son was born \u2014\u00a0and 17 miscarriages<\/em> prior to his birth. Their new baby Finnley is a long-awaited blessing to the entire family.<\/p>\n

“Two of those miscarriages were sets of twins so it was very difficult,” explained Cary. While a stigma about miscarriages still exists, and parents are expected to quickly move on and try again, the pain and trauma of miscarriages \u2014 especially multiple miscarriages \u2014 is devastating to couples. But despite their pain and heartbreak, Cary and Tim did not give up on adding another baby to their family. Finnley is the miracle they had been waiting for.<\/p>\n
