If anyone had a reason to give up, it was Ty and Alexis Morgan. First, their seemingly normal pregnancy went very wrong at 18 weeks when their son was diagnosed in utero with a fatal condition for which there were two options: abortion or carry to term with stillbirth. Yet before even knowing the actual diagnosis their answer was on the way. Then, in the midst of this, Ty made the decision to leave his well-paying job and start his own company. With all of this happening at once, it would have been easy to just lay down and give up. But Ty and his wife didn't give up and God miraculously met their needs every step of the way.
