‘Baby Samuel’ Making a Splash, 10 Years Later

May 6, 2009 | 2 comments

Fantastic story about what the boy known around the world as “Baby Samuel” is doing now, 10 years after the photo taken by photographer Michael Clancy of his tiny hand reaching out and gripping the surgeon’s finger during open-womb surgery. And cheers to youth swimming programs (from a SwimTeam Dad). Amazing testimony to the value of every human life; amazing testimony to God’s grace.
