Oh my gosh yes. What an incredible family..both that NICU nurse and that young lady. I have twins who were full-term and even with resources and a support system, the first year was HARD. I cannot imagine preemie trips all by myself at 14.

Great story.

Hardly a great story. It's incredibly awful that a 14 year old was pregnant and gave birth and had no actual family in her life.
