Feature Story
Pregnancy, Diagnosis, and Hope
Photos provided by Jones Family
In October 2025, we shared Lisa Jones’ heartfelt story of a mother’s journey from a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis to unexpected joy.
We're excited to reshare Lisa’s piece again!
It’s a story that covers fear, faith, and a love bigger than a diagnosis.
More From The Issue
Book Recommendation
If you’re looking for a new read, then you’re in luck! Here’s a book by Vanessa Boomer of Pediatrics Plus who was recently featured in our September issue.
“I wrote Easy Lies and Hard Truths to share the parts of this journey that can feel lonely, confusing, and hard to explain. I brought together what I’ve learned as a speech-language pathologist and what I’ve lived as an autism mom, hoping another parent might feel understood and a little less alone. Having this book published means so much to me because it gives our family’s story a place in the world. If it helps even one person feel seen, supported, or more hopeful, sharing it will have been worth it.”
