Fear Will Not Define This Child
Full Text
We declare that no diagnosis, disability, or prognosis can erase the God-given dignity of this child. We will face medical realities truthfully while refusing despair. We will seek wise care, welcome faithful support, and make decisions grounded in love rather than panic. God is our refuge in uncertainty, and nothing can separate us from His love.

Romans 8:38–39
"Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God."
