My daughter Sophie was born on a beautiful September day in New York City . It was the year 1986 .. I was 21 years old myself. We were so excited for our first baby and had prepared everything with love and attention to detail in her room . Nothing could have prepared us for Sophie 💕

Sophie was born with a deletion of the 4th chromosome a condition also known as minus 4 p or wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome.

Nobody knew what that meant aside from the intellectual diagnosis.
