All parents face an exciting nine-month wait before it’s finally time to meet the little bundle of joy that has grown in mommy’s belly.
There’s simply no better feeling than when the baby is finally born into the world and you hear it screaming for the first time.
But for some parents, a child’s birth can turn into something they could never have imagined.

There had been no problems during Mary’s pregnancy, and the childbirth went well. There were no indications that anything was wrong with their baby daughter Michelle during the delivery.
But when she opened her eyes, doctors immediately saw that something was awry. They didn’t know what it was before looking deep into the medical books and consulting a geneticist from another hospital.
Michelle had a very round and childlike face. She was also suffering from hair loss and had a nose that almost looked like a small beak.
