    Let’s not forget the third baby who died and made this all possible 🙏🏻

    Prayers for the family whose baby died. So brave of them to think of others when they lost their child.

      Were they harassed into giving the heart by the harvesters? Why didn't that baby get a transplant. Transplantation is big business. Never underestimate the slimy behavior of transplant teams.

    The family of the baby who's heart was donated saved two babies. Without that original donation two babies would have been lost.

    So special and miraculous for both families to have their baby girl's saved through transplant's like this. I hope both Mia and Brooklyn live long lives with their hearts and never need another transplant ever again.
