Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
I was 16 when I had Miracle. they told me that there might be a problem with her at birth. but to me she was perfect to me and I did not see anything wrong with her. She was born at temple hospital at 2:39am. she weight 7"11 and 21inch long. they told me to bring her back in 2 days because they wanted to run some test on her.
The doctor she had at the time, was really cool. he said that he does not think there is anything wrong with Miracle. but it was good to get the test any way. so I did. it took a week to find out. during that week Miracle started eating solid foods off a spoon thanks to her grandmother. On that Friday I got the call. and they told me that my Miracle had downs. they told me that they wanted to see me at the hospital, so they could discuss my options.
I really did not know what to do. I was scared, but I never looked at her different. I just did not want anybody else to. I went and I faced alot of doctors that told me because I was young I could give her up. and go on with my life. they also told me that she would not walk until 5 years old, she would not sit up until 3, and would never speak. by then I had enough. I had to get some air . at that time I realized that I had been there for almost 2 hours. me and my mom look at each other and she told me that I can hear what the doctors say, but listen to what god says. I could tell that she was scared too, but didn't want me to see that. we went back and I told them that I wanted my baby. that was the biggest moment in my life. I would never take that back. after that my life has become all about Miracle.
I still finished school and raised my baby with help of my mother, brothers, and sister. as for Miracle's father well that's another story. but I'm happy to say that me and Miracle are doing just fine. Miracle is now 5 going on six. she attends school with "normal" children and is in a normal classroom setting. she not only walked at 11 1/2 months she runs too. she still has a little problem with speech but we are working with that. and she is the sweetest child you will ever meet. she goes to rock concerts and has her own fans. everywhere we go they always say how pretty she is. and she is a big sister. I have 2year old son that is" normal" and they are best friends. I wanted to share my story because, I know it's hard to hear what your child won't be able to do. but you have to have faith in you, and your child. me and Miracle are living proof of that!!!!!! if you want to know more you can contact me below in the comments.
