Kelsey and her husband are both carriers for 3C Syndrome. They only discovered this after their daughter, Blake, was born and went through several years of tests in order to get to the bottom of her rare condition.IVF wasn't an option for them and so this meant that in order to grow their family, they would need to risk a future baby being diagnosed with the same condition and then needing to make a decision to end the pregnancy. They have gone through 3 subsequent TFMR's, all for 3C Syndrome. We talk about the difficult choices they've had to make and how they've navigated these.We also talk about the debate surrounding disability and abortion. Kelsey is so eloquent and passionate, we could have kept talking about this for hours.Let us know what you think of this episode.
