Adriana Smith’s neonate was delivered today, 3 months early (around 28 weeks).
She will finally be allowed to rest and taken off of life support.
Her family’s fundraiser is nowhere near its goal, and now they have tremendous NICU costs to look forward to based on how her son was able (or unable) to develop under the duress of all those life saving drugs they pumped his mom full of.
Please allow this mother’s spirit to rest and support their family as they’re finally allowed to grieve poor Adriana being used as an incubator for the state.
