The days are long, but the years are short

You are living a noble calling. The time you invest in your child’s life will have a lifelong impact on them, their children, and their children’s children, not to mention the generation into which they will launch.

When it’s your turn to launch your child, you may experience a bittersweet sense of joy and sorrow, love and loss. And you are not alone. God is with you.

🚨INCREDIBLE: For nearly 15 years, Chris and Janae Martinez hoped to become parents.

Chris was a lieutenant with the Belen Fire Department in New Mexico. His station had a Safe Haven Baby Box, and he once told his coworkers that if a baby was ever surrendered there, he hoped he would be on duty.

On February 6, 2024, the alarm went off.

Inside the box was a newborn boy, weighing just over four pounds. His umbilical cord was still attached, and he was blue and shivering from the cold.

Chris helped warm him, gave him oxygen and watched as he was taken to the hospital. The baby would spend weeks receiving treatment for serious medical complications.

Chris called Janae in tears.

The couple had recently become certified foster parents, and soon they were given the chance to care for the little boy Chris had found that night.

They named him Mikel "Mikey" Martinez.

What followed was more than a year of hospital visits, court hearings and uncertainty. Then, on March 10, 2025, the adoption was finally completed.

The firefighter who had once hoped to be there if a baby ever arrived in his station's Safe Haven box became that baby's father.

🚨INCREDIBLE: A baby was taken out of the womb at 23 weeks, had a life-threatening tumor removed, and was put BACK INSIDE so she could keep growing.

In one of the most remarkable surgeries ever performed, doctors at Texas Children’s Hospital opened the mother’s uterus at just 23 weeks, partially delivered the tiny baby, cut away a massive tumor that was crushing her heart, then gently placed her back into the womb and sewed everything shut.

The baby, LynLee Hope, continued developing for another 13 weeks and was born healthy near full term.

This is open fetal surgery — one of the most advanced and delicate procedures in modern medicine. Surgeons literally operate on a child who is still supposed to be inside her mother, then return her to finish growing.

A living miracle of skill, courage, and science.

Baby Aniyah was a twin born with her brain outside her skull.

Doctors said she likely wouldn’t survive after birth.

She did.

She survived surgery, only to stop breathing a few days later.

They turned off all the machines and prepared to say goodbye.

One week later, Baby Aniyah went home to be with her family.

4 months later she was lifting her head, smiling, laughing, and despite doctor predictions, breathing on her own.

Beautiful Aniyah shows us that every life is worth living.

regardless of your politics-he is respected & missed in his defense of the unborn

National Right to Life mourns the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, a steadfast friend of unborn children and their mothers. His leadership on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act and the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act gave a voice to children who could not speak for themselves. We honor his years of service and his commitment to protecting innocent human life. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, staff, and the people of South Carolina. May he rest in peace.
