Mamas in Spirit God Sought Me in My Sorrow with Emily Adams of The Little Souls

When Emily and her husband went to a routine sonogram appointment seventeen weeks into her pregnancy, the technician struggled to find a heartbeat. 

They were told they’d have to wait two hours for an ultrasound technician to take a closer look in the hope their baby was okay.
