A very touching story. What a wonderful, courageous, unselfish lady.

That would have been a heartbreaking yet generous decision to make. It wasn’t totally in vain as they got to hold their baby for as long as she lived. Being able to dontate her heart valves would have been beneficial to another baby. Being able to use some of her organs for research may lead to treatment that can save babies in the future.

Such a tough decision but so kind of them to think of another baby’s happiness in their sadness.

What an amazingly unselfish thing to do. What a wonderful woman she is. Such a shame the organs weren’t viable after going through all that

Terribly hard decision to make and one that didn’t work out for the best as far as the transplants were concerned. Perhaps the doctors should have warned the parents of the possibility that the organs would not be viable before they made that heart wrenching decision to carry on with the pregnancy. At least their child died in their arms knowing love.

What wonderful parents. Can’t imagine how hard a decision that would have been to make.

What a hard decision they had to make. I am glad they got to meet and spend time with their beautiful little girl.

Aw bless you Abbey and Robert !! Such hard decision, but I think it was the right one !

Abbey and Robert, you are amazing. My children are 20, 25 and 27 and even after all these years I have tears running down my cheeks and my heart reaches out to you. You are remarkable for sharing your story and other parents will find comfort in this. Your little darling Annie is special. I am not religious at all but I do feel we all have something special to give and you and Annie show just what love is. Not just for you, you got to feel her for a short special time, but for you wanting to help others. Take care and enjoy your rainbow baby ????

This shows how strong some women are. I worked with a lady about 15 years ago who let her baby go full term even though she knew the baby wouldn’t live. She felt she was doing the right thing.

what a horrible position to be in, all my love to you and your family

Wow what an amazing thing to do for other families with sick children. I hope the parents are comforted by the idea that they have helped so many others.

What a hard decision they took. And sweet and caring at the same time. This action shows so much love and compassion. It must have been so sad to let Annie go.
