I just read that article! Loved it.

I saw the same article and am seriously considering donating mine. It is such a lovely idea.

I was just talking about this the other day! I think this is an amazing program.

That's really lovely. One of the things that bothered me immensely when my son was born is that he was too tiny for any of the garments they had. The hospital had some donated knitted hats that were small in size, but he was only 21w gestation, so they were still too big and it was maddening. I appreciated the gesture, but I took it off him because it looked so silly. The nurse packed it up for us, it's still in his memory box, but I hate it. The idea of someone crafting those beautiful clothes out of such special dresses . . . it's so loving. So kind.

The hospital that I was at when I lost Rowan had her in a preemie sized hat, but it was absolutely absurd even just next to her head. I have it in her memory box. The one I was at for Carson didn't even do that much. One of the things I'm considering for my own healing is making some stuff that is appropriately sized & donating it to them to try to help them set up some kind of standard for our babies. They didn't even offer pics or anything. The only reason I held him, have a pic, & was able to take care of his remains as we wanted to was because we asked. 

All of that aside, this is such a beautiful program. Thank you for sharing this article. I'm going to talk it over with MH, but I think my wedding dress will be getting donated. If I can contribute in anyway to another baby getting the respect they deserve, I feel like I need to.

I've seen this before! I told my mom about it and she donated her dress.
