1000 Signatures By Friday

We need your help.
We are trying to get 1000 signatures by Friday
and I would like to ask you all to help us do just that.
Please take a moment and read this family's story and then take
another minute to add your signature.

On June 1, 2009, Wyatt Nathaniel Finchum, was born at 10:03 a.m. He had a faint heartbeat and was breathing, which was a miracle, because doctors had told his parents that they would probably never see him alive. He did live for two precious minutes. However, due to Tennessee's definition of live birth, the doctor was not able to medically acknowledge his life. He was listed as stillborn. His parents won't deny the fact that their son was dying as soon as he was born, but he lived... he fought to breathe for those two minutes and his life deserves to be acknowledged. His parents would like to get Tennessee's definition of live birth amended to a more acceptable definition that recognizes life no matter how short it may be.

Are you willing to make a difference today?

Please take one minute and sign your name.

(Even those that don't live in Tennessee still count)

I would also like to ask all blog owners to consider posting a post on your blog.

Thank You!

Sandy

    Thank you for posting this. Some other blogger a while back posted this story, but at that time signatures outside of Tennessee weren't valid. So glad I could finally sign something.

    Not only did I sign it but I also left my comments. Let's pray over this petition that God intervenes and this is finally put to rest!

    Love and Hugs ~ Kat
