Desired Child

by M.E. Bell

In 2019, new mother, Meghan Bell, attends her 12 week scan, not expecting the midwives to tell her the baby has a severe defect on the spine. Confronted with the choice to keep the baby or terminate, she and her husband choose to undergo groundbreaking fetal surgery to give their baby the best chance of mobility. 'Desired Child' is this mother’s account of a spina bifida diagnosis, fetal surgery, premature birth and 99 days in Neonatal Intensive Care. Alongside a fast-paced narrative, this true story features faith-filled journal entries and poetry, inviting you to walk alongside a young family as they experience hope amidst trauma.
