Recording artist Ginger Millermon says "We are advocates for life, because if society had had its way, we would have let Jarrott go or institutionalized him." Listen to Ginger tell why every life, from the moment of conception to the moment of death, is to be cherished, and why they have a huge passion for children in orphanages in third world countries. Then take a moment to ponder Ginger's a cappella version of her softly haunting song, "First Breath."

Visit the archives and listen to the first 2 clips of this 4-part series to understand why life is so precious to Ginger and her husband.

Come back next week to hear how Ginger and her husband, Joel, kept their marriage strong through the years of caring for a child with special needs
