Born on the 26th of March 2011, I welcome into the world Michaela Hope Pohl. What makes this little girl so special? Her Mom, Joanne Pohl.
You see Jo was 28 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. It took a year of Chemo and Radio therapy before Jo first went into remission. As Jo's chances of falling pregnant immediately after cancer were almost zero, Jo and husband Mark, after months of fostering two amazing twin boys aged 9 (Aleistar & Christopher), adopted them and they came home in December of 2009.
The thing about Jo's cancer though is that falling pregnant could have meant dissaster as the hormones produced during pregnancy would have acted as fertilizer for the cancer. Thankfully, that didn't happen. I believe God honours us when he know's he can trust us with his precious gifts and in July 2010 Jo fell pregnant.
After a stressful pregnancy and monthly testing, Michaela this child of hope and a reminder of God's grace, has finally been born. I wish Mom and Dad all the best in the years ahead. Enjoy your little bundle :-)
