Becoming a Mama Bear
Beverly’s journey began when a doctor called her unborn baby “retarded.”
Did he really just say that?! Yes. And he also said that if my daughter lived, she would be a “drain on the family, mentally, emotionally, and financially.”
I had hoped to find answers, information, and hope during this meeting.
Instead, I met my inner Mama Bear. Hearing his negative outlook and opinions aroused my fierce love for my baby girl. I realized that it was up to me to be her voice in a world that did not value her existence.
Verity defied the odds and was born alive–clearly she didn’t get the memo that her diagnosis was “incompatible with life!” And so I became a Medical Mama Bear, learning how to provide the tender care my baby needed and deserved.
As we began to find our new normal, we found ourselves reaching out to help other families on this journey. And the vision for Mama Bear Care was born–the opportunity to speak LIFE in a culture of death, to bring HOPE in the midst of heartache.
Having gone through our own journey from diagnosis to delivery and beyond, and having seen the great need in this community, we have prayerfully followed God’s lead to establish and grow Mama Bear Care so others can receive vital support for a journey like no other.
