In what’s being called a modern-day miracle, a Kentucky mother says her unborn baby was touched by the “hand of God” – and she has the ultrasound to prove it.

In April 2022, Amanda Foster, now 33, shared an image of an ultrasound with her friends on Facebook, announcing that her unborn son Jay had “healthy kidneys, no cysts and perfect blood flow to and from.”

She added that the boy was “Potter syndrome free,” which according to the Cleveland Clinic is a “rare condition that affects the growth and function of a baby’s kidneys and other internal organs. This condition is life-threatening for the baby and many infants have a short life expectancy.”

‘More common in males’

For Foster, her fears of Potter syndrome started at 17, when she tragically lost her first child to at just 20 weeks.

“My thought at that time was, ‘Well, if God is going to take my son, He will take me too!” Foster shared in a Facebook post, explaining her grief over losing her first son, Xavier. “It didn’t work out that way, and I developed a deep resentment and anger toward God. If that wasn’t enough, I was later told it was very unlikely I would ever have a healthy baby boy since Potter syndrome is more common in males.”

Foster and her husband Kyle later welcomed two healthy daughters, and then the couple had their first son, baby Jay in August 2022.
