Joy was 32 years old and pregnant with twins. She and her husband Roberto were thrilled to be expecting, but their excitement was short-lived. The doctor told them that one of the babies was not like a regular baby.
Joy was worried, “what was the gynecologist talking about? How could he say something so vague to me?” the frantic mother thought. As she grappled with the uncertainty, a myriad of questions swirled in her mind. She anxiously awaited further clarification, desperately seeking more information about what lay ahead for their family.
