Homeschooling Through Grief: Beverly Jacobson's Journey of Faith and Resilience

When Beverly and her husband learned their 9th baby had Edwards Syndrome, they grieved upon hearing their daughter was not expected to live. But the Mama Bear rose up when a doctor referred to their baby as "retarded" and destined to lead "a futile life." Not only has little Verity turned her family’s lives upside down (in a good way!), but she has also touched hearts all over the world. Beverly has written books, journals, and other resources for parents in these unique situations. When she learned how many mothers are pushed toward abortion following a prenatal diagnosis, Beverly created a Mama Bear Movement, starting a nonprofit organization to provide hope, encouragement, education, and practical resources for families who receive a life-limiting diagnosis for their babies.
