Within days of discovering her pregnancy, Carolyn Savage experienced an unexpected and heartbreaking turn of events. This Ohio couple, who had faced multiple miscarriages, turned to in vitro fertilization in the hope of expanding their family. However, on February 16, 2009, they received shocking news—the frozen embryo implanted in Carolyn’s womb belonged to another couple.
Given the circumstances, Carolyn and her husband, Sean Savage, had difficult decisions to make. They could have fought for custody or considered termination. However, guided by their strong Catholic faith, Carolyn made the courageous choice to carry the baby to full term, referring to him as “Little Man” alongside Sean.
