Theodore’s mother, Joanna, realized that while we had photos of babies at 19 and 21 weeks gestation, there were none at 20 weeks gestation. She and her husband have graciously offered photos of their sweet baby, Theodore Joe, stillborn at 20 weeks. They can be found on the Photographs page. Many thanks to Theodore’s family … Continue reading Theodore Joe
Delaying Pregnancy Announcements
Last week and this I recorded a three-part interview with I Choose Life radio (Right to Life of Northeast Indiana) on the topic of miscarriage and stillbirth as it fits into the prolife stance. These interviews will air on three consecutive weeks beginning in August. Further details are not available right now but I will … Continue reading Delaying Pregnancy Announcements

I'm aware that quite a number of non-Orthodox people have accessed this site and found … Continue reading Welcome
New beginnings
As you can see I have moved Lost Innocents to a new platform. The move is not complete and you may run into some dead links. I am still in the process of sifting through everything, cleaning up pages, etc., and I will need to rewatermark all of the photos. I hope all of this … Continue reading New beginnings

When we got to the car I cried so hard I thought I would tear the lining of my throat out, as … Continue reading Innocent: The Baby at the Beginning
Fake?
It's unbelievable to me that you can have someone with the appendage "MD" saying that the photographs on this site (and others) are faked. I guess it goes to show that just because someone has MD after their name it doesn't necessarily mean they know what they're talking about. Sheesh.
A Kind Email

I miscarried our fourth child at 8 weeks in August 1994. I had been brought up to believe that at this early … Continue reading A Kind Email
Gabriel [updated]
Within a few weeks I will be adding yet another story and more photographs to this site. Although I've known since Friday, today it was confirmed that we have another baby waiting for us in heaven. Gabriel died at 10 weeks, 6 days. I am waiting to go into labor on my own. I will … Continue reading Gabriel [updated]
