Mother shares photos of baby with acrania, who died at birth
Clark Job Edman was born on September 15, 2015. While still growing in the womb he had been diagnosed with acrania, a fetal anomaly in which either part or all of the skull does not develop. Babies with acrania do not live outside the womb for long, if at all.
Yet, Clark’s mother celebrated his life, recognizing him as her precious son.
After his birth, Clark’s mother Genavive shared photos of her son and her pregnancy, labor, and delivery on Facebook saying that “life is precious, miraculous, worthwhile and beautiful.”
She writes:
Dear Reader,
Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.
That number should break our hearts and move us to action.
Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.
Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.
Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.
[…] we were blessed to spend 9 beautiful months with him. We made the most of our time and love him as our child. Perhaps we love him so strongly that we gave him a lifetime of love in less than a year. We will continue to love him even though he’s gone.
Genavive asked people not to report the photos of her son and ask Facebook to remove them. She noted that these are the only photos her family has of Clark and instead of reporting them, she asked that people who couldn’t handle the images simply turn away and say a prayer for her family.

Edman goes on to say:
As you can see our family has been with us throughout this time and loved their brother, grandson and nephew too. We cherish his life and these moments forever until God sees it best to reunite us in heaven.
