Brayley Jaine Collins- beautiful anencephaly story part 1

Our baby girl was diagnosed with anencephaly when I was 20 weeks. We decided to keep our beautiful daughter. When I found out I did all I could to learn more. I learned that not many were kept now days and I want others to see it can still be a beautiful thing if you let it. God has a purpose and it will be fulfilled.

@Crocdundee23 this guy is right. having a child knowing it has this condition is selfish. this woman put her emotional needs over the logical choice. she wasnt as concerned about the fetuss best interst as much as she wanted religious/emotional validation. btw this wasnt a person. death is at the cessation of brain function. the fetus never had brain function. it had no chance of ever being a person.

[Crocdundee23]

why would you give birth just to have the poor child die? You knew it was going to. to go through all this in the name of God is disturbing, and turning tragedy into a spectacle of your faith is wrong. let the pregnancy be terminated, if God decides who lives and dies then he should have given the baby a brain in the first place so it could live. the only "miracle" is people like you are so delusional as to turn a tragedy into such exploitation to prove to the world you are "Godly" Matthew 23:12

@easypimpin123 unfortunately you are right. Hopefully there is a place of happiness for someone like this but this child wasn't really there and this video comes across as selfish in many ways.

I was this was something I had. Unfortunately my baby is only a baby in my eyes, to everyone else it is a fetus. No birth certificate. If I had my time over again. I would carry it full term so others recognise her as a baby.

I wonder if Crocdundee23 and easypimpin123 have been through anything like this themselves. I dont think anyone is allowed to judge another woman for choosing to carry her baby. She has a right to meet her baby at full term than any other woman having a baby. I found out at 12 weeks my baby girl had anencephaly. At the time I couldn't go on with the pregnancy and was induced at 16 weeks. I admire hayleyjamm for her courage to continue with the pregnancy.

[Crocdundee23]

No, I'm suggesting she terminate the pregnancy, and then I throw a bible verse in to show that even if religion is used to substantiate the action it is still wrong. Basically I am saying that they are wrong on all fronts. There is a difference between being a dick and adamantly disagreeing, emotions cloud your judgment. This is part heart, but it is mostly an egomaniacal spectacle. No matter how this may be rationalized, it only benefits the parents while the child is only dead.

@Crocdundee23 So you're suggesting she have an abortion after you throw a Bible verse at her? I guess you're playing the "Jesus card" so you can be a dick to women who have more heart than you do.

what a beautiful tribute for a beautiful baby girl with a beautiful family! Praise be to God!

[RinniAgdhi]

sometimes, i look at these beautiful children that are born without brains, and i think they are blessed, because they will never feel the pain that the rest of us have to endure, and then i wonder about if they go to heaven since they cant understand.

[Kieronruben]

Hi. I understand your feelings. I also had an anencephalic baby in 2008. I decided to terminate at 13 weeks. I know I have done the right choice and don't regret it. Some people can do it, others can't. If it will be today, I would have done the same thing again. But understand your choice.

This is so precious! I found out my baby girl had anencephaly about 3 moths in to the prgnancy. I kept her because i wanted to tell my baby girl just how much i love her and how much she ment to me...well may 13 i found out i had a miscarriage. I was about 5 months along. Its been the hardest thing of my life. Im only 16 and i find myself crying everynight.

[bluebonnet138]

I was diagonsed with an anencephaly baby at 21 weeks. After MUCH pray and fasting we induced at 22 weeks. Hardest choice I've ever had to make. Our sweet daughter had no barin mass at all, and a short brain stem. It was picking between her dieing then or dieing at full term. But it was beautiful, and I know one day I'll hold her again. Now I am preganant with a Little healthy boy!
