"A Small Victory"
Is a website, in memory of Janelle Victory, that gives out loss kits at the hospital,
to help those that have lost a child.
Many other causes of child death have had public and media attention thus, research and funding pertaining to them have been a part of the federal and state systems for decades. However, the number of documented stillbirths is roughly equal to that of all child deaths during the first year of life. These numbers have gone virtually unnoticed and have been ignored as a public health problem. The MISSing Angels Bill and similar legislation have been enacted in 13 states. Elizabeth and Ethan Allen have joined Kara and Hawk Jones to establish the MISSing Angels Bill in Washington State. Under this bill, when a ‘Certificate of Fetal Death’ is required, and the child was stillborn, parents will be offered the opportunity to receive a 'Certificate of Birth, Resulting in Stillbirth'. It is really that simple. To learn more about this bill please visit National MISSing Angels Bill Petition. For further information or to become involved please visit the Washington State MISSing Angels Bill blog or contact Kara Jones
