Pregnancy resource center directors, volunteers, or mothers: Send us your baby photos
WORLD's annual Roe v. Wade issue often includes photos of babies. In our 2013 issue, the photos on our cover and many featured inside the issue show a few of the millions of babies saved through God's grace and the work of pregnancy resource centers, and every year that number increases. We hope to make publishing such photos an annual tradition.
How to participate in 2013: Any pregnancy resource center client's baby born in 2013 is eligible. We'll need a signed release (download PDF) from the baby's parent or guardian. Moms of babies whose photos are selected for inclusion in WORLD, and the centers that have helped, will receive copies of the magazine that includes the babies' photos. Please email photos and release forms to Rob Patete (rpatete@worldmag.com) by Dec. 31.
