Charlotte Observer begins series about a young family carrying to term after diagnosis of anencephaly
November 14, 2010
The Brooks family is very special to BNA and BNA Charlotte. Skylar Brooks lived for 99 minutes, but her story transcends those who loved and met her. Please read the series – it will probably win an award, but in any case, it will surely win your heart.
Like most couples expecting a baby, Shannon and Kip Brooks couldn’t wait to show off ultrasound pictures to family and friends. So in early March, when she was about four months pregnant, they arranged to get a keepsake ultrasound on DVD. It was the start of a punishing, yet enriching journey that changed their lives and, maybe, created hope for other families.
