Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E whakanui ana tētahi tokorua i te rā whānau tuatahi o tana tamaiti, i te mea i korerotia ki a rātau ka mate pea tana tamaiti hauā i roto i ngā haora i muri mai i tana whanautanga. I te wa e hapu ana a Sonia Morales, i kitea tana tamahine a Angela he anencephaly, he ngoikoretanga whanau i whanau ai nga tamariki kaore he waahanga o o raatau roro me o raatau kopu. Engari i whakatau a Sonia raua ko tana tāne, a Rony, e noho ana i Providence, Rhode Island, 'ki te pupuri i a ia ahakoa he aha.' E whakanui ana tētahi tokorua i te rā whānau tuatahi o tana tamaiti, i te mea i korerotia ki a rātau ka mate pea tana tamaiti hauā i roto i ngā haora i muri mai i tana whanautanga. I te pikitia: Ko Sonia rāua ko tana tāne ko Rony, ko Elizabeth, tokowha ōna tau, ko Angela, kotahi nei tōna tau. Ko Erihapeti me tana tuahine iti. He anencephaly a Angela, he ngoikoretanga whanau i whanau ai nga peepi kaore he waahanga o to roro me te kopu - he maha nga tamariki hou i mate i muri tata mai i te whanautanga. Ko Angela, e 16 pauna noa iho te taumaha, i whakanui i tōna rā whānau tuatahi i te 23 o Poutu-te-rangi i te taha o tō rāua tamahine e whā tau te pakeke a Elizabeth. I rite rātau ki te ngaro pea i a Angela mai i te wā i whānau mai ai ia. 'I te wā i haere mātou ki te hōhipera, i whakaaro ahau ka oha atu, ka poroporoaki i te rā kotahi,' e ai ki a Sonia ki People. 'I waiata mātou ki a ia i tētahi waiata i hanga e mātou mō ia. I te wā o tētahi ultrasound i kīia ai ki a Sonia Morales kāore i te pai te whanaketanga o tana tamahine. E mea ana a Sonia e mōhio ana tana tamahine kei te mate tana tuahine iti, engari e hiahia ana ia ki te noho tahi me ia i te wā e taea ana e ia. Ia rā ka waiata te whānau i tētahi waiata rā whānau, me tētahi keke rā whānau me tētahi inoi i a rātou e whakanui ana i te oranga o Angela. I muri i tana whanautanga, ka kī ngā tākuta ki te whānau he wā tino uaua, engari kotahi wiki i muri mai ka tino harikoa rātau ki te whakahoki i a ia ki te kāinga. Kei te whakanui te whānau i ia rā me Angela mai i te mea e mōhio ana rātau he poto te ora mō tā rātau tamahine mate - he keke rā whānau rātau, he waiata ia rā. 'He tino taonga tuku iho ia rā. E mōhio ana ia he nui te aroha ki a ia,' e ai ki a Sonia. Ka puta te anencephaly i waenganui i te toru me te wha wiki o te hapūtanga.

I te wa e hapu ana a Sonia Morales, i kitea tana tamahine a Angela he anencephaly. He mate whanau tēnei e whānau mai ai ngā pēpi kāore he wāhanga o tō rātou roro me te korokoro - he maha ngā pēpi hou e mate ana i muri tata i te whanautanga.
