Madysen and Darin Wilcox

On Sundays I write about individuals who deserve our respect because they stand by their beliefs. Madysen and Darin Wilcox are such people. Whether someone is for or against abortion is not really the issue when it comes to Madysen Wilcox and her husband, Darin.
Madysen and Darin Wilcox have chosen to walk a difficult path, and she is sharing what helps her remain strong in the face of adversity: her faith in God.
The 29-year-old homeschooling mom is currently in her third trimester of pregnancy (thirty-two weeks along at the time of writing). She’s carrying her third baby—a boy whom she and her 34-year-old husband, Darin Wilcox, have named Charlie.
Having received a fatal diagnosis for their unborn son, Madysen and Darin bravely decided not to terminate the pregnancy. Instead, the heartbreaking diagnosis has made the couple see life through fresh eyes.
After struggling for weeks Madysen and Darin decided not to abort Charlie.
“I am so glad that we left our decision up to God and that we listened to Him because looking back now, I realize the decision of how and when Charlie is called home to heaven really isn’t up to me—it’s up to God. And I have so much peace knowing that,” she said.
Again Madysen Wilcox story isn’t about abortion per se, but rather about how two individuals stuck to their beliefs.
