A personal benefit I’ve experienced while writing for this blog has been heightened attention to what is going on in the church and the world with regards to disability.
But I still miss more than I catch.
So I was glad when Dianne recently heard and shared with me a brief radio announcement for Prenatal Partners for Life, a Minnesota-based, Catholic organization. They exist to save pre-born babies with disabilities from abortion by focusing on getting parents accurate and helpful information. Their mission:
Prenatal Partners for Life is dedicated to providing families, either expecting, or those who have just had, a special needs child, the support, information, and encouragement they need to make informed decisions involving their preborn or newborn child’s care.
We believe these children are unique gifts from God and have a special purpose in life that only they can fulfill.
Our goal is to provide honest, practical information about parenting a special needs child by linking expectant parents or new parents of a special needs child with other parents who have had the same diagnosis.
This is all that I know about them at the moment. If anyone has had experience with them, please leave a comment below.
Dianne and I are thinking about attending their annual benefit to learn more, partly because of videos like this one where they look at disability, suffering and hardship squarely – and affirm that the little children should be allowed to live.

John,
That is a beautiful video. It reminds me that God’s ways are not always our ways.
