My triplet daughters and I were the poster family for the March of Dimes in Mass. in 1997. They were full term and perfectly healthy at birth (thank God) but my son born in 1991 was quite ill at birth, so to be able to represent the March of Dimes was an honor I could not pass up. Your daughter is precious and beautiful. God bless her and mom and dad. Best of everything to you all.

[gabrielrian4crystal]

i am def. going to donate and have my church donate. your daughter is precious. i loved the song. what was its name?

The song is "You'll Never Stand Alone" by Whitney Houston.

[heavenlyluvforbabies]

well i chose the wrong words ,it's not that thier stupid it's just what they did is wrong and i just wish they'd think it through...sorry i've been under alot of stress i just lost a family member and found out my grandmother had lung cancer in the same week...i will try to choose my words better.

[tubeeorrnottubee]

What a beautiful child!

I was born with a spinal defect, and also benefitted from the March of Dimes~

Arianna had a lot of love surrounding her, it's plain to see, from the very beginning, and that, above all, makes all the difference in the world!

Best of luck always~ God bless!:)

[softsoul1802]

Thanks God that everything was and is ok. Take care Arianna :*

[yamagoof]

What an angel! And what a miracle! God bless and congratulations on your daughter... :)

[321emme123]

this is why the amount of weeks to have an abortion should be lower! babies like this angel can survive!! you did an amazing job. Arinna is beautiful! xx

[heavenlyluvforbabies]

god bless you there should be more people like you!!!!!!!!!my daughters name is arrianna

to.I DO NOT BELIEVE IN ABORTION!!!!!!!!!!! how do we get it out to mothers they may think theyre stupid for getting pregnant..but theyre even more stupid if they get an abortion.there are always better options. let the innocent live.

[tubeeorrnottubee]

They aren't stupid.. just misguided, and often in desperate situations. Pray for them, and for less and less need for them to even have to court such decisions. God bless

[ladyvatoon2]

I was touched! I love children and wish to have my own some day! I know God can always make a way! She's a blessing and it is never over untill God says it is!

[chinitabhebie26]

Wow!! That was really touching, I can say.. Now this is one miracle that god has made. Arianna is one special girl. ;]

God Bless y'all! Peace Out.

[TamiK04]

Great video! Your daughter is beautiful. I had twins born at 26 weeeks weighing 1lb 15.5 oz and 2lbs. My daughter spent 78 days in the NICU and my son spent 111 days. I hope that everyone sees this video of your beautiful daughter, and I hope it inspires them to donate to the March of Dimes.

[amers77]

Great video! Just had a preemie born at 1 lb 3 oz, born 10 weeks early. He is still in the NICU.

[ariannatemple]

What a great story! I hope lots of people see it and donate to the March of Dimes!

[pinkpisces]

[p0ppytart]

*sobs*

you did an amazing job.

[jllsteed]

This video is worth more than worth watching. It is super!! I made a mistake when I hit the stars and hit the wrong one. I meant to hit the fifth star. Arianna is truly inspirational and her story is a testament for the work that can be accomplished through the March of Dimes. Good job Kena, keep it up :-)
