A pro-life couple from Missouri has thrown resilience, faith, and gratitude straight into the face of fear after learning their eighth child was diagnosed with Down syndrome.

For parents Cathy and Andrew Daub, getting pregnant with their eighth baby came as a complete surprise as they already had their hands full with six boys and one girl. Additionally, Cathy had a number of health issues, including post-partum psoriatic arthritis, which flares up whenever she delivers a baby. Moreover, after eight miscarriages, the couple knew that “carrying a baby to term was a long shot.”
