At last, there are stories of hope and redemption and justice coming out of New Orleans – not enough, to be sure, but some.
Today, we can celebrate the birth of a son.
After Katrina hit the city, the waters had subsided slightly and the worst danger had passed, the director of an IVF clinic returned by boat with the army to try to save as many frozen embryos as he could. And then he started the painstaking process of tracking down the patients through the media and over the internet…
Rebekah and Glen Markham were one such couple. Nine months ago, the doctors implanted one of those rescued embryos, and now Rebekah and Glen (who already have one son by IVF) are celebrating the birth of their second son.
His name? Noah.
