'I believe that every child has a purpose.'
Meet Tara Watson, and her incredibly adorable baby boy, Jesse. Like 1 in 700 babies born in the United States, Jesse was born with Down Syndrome. And although the Watson family considers Jesse the greatest blessing in their lives, the road they have walked has been far from easy. The initial shock and fear accompanying his diagnosis was only compounded by the continual pressure from Tara's doctor to terminate. Later, she endured extended periods of isolation during which she faced the threat of Jesse's multiple medical complications. In this interview, she shares openly about the hope, perspective, and grace, she found during her times of suffering. Tara generously provides tried and true encouragement for others in similar situations. And, regardless of chromosomal differences, she teaches us how to celebrate every child's life, reminding us that each soul is born with distinct and beautiful purpose.
