The Van Ginkel Family Promise Home Birth Experience
Samuel and Bailey loved building a relationship with Kris and Kari before labor at their appointments and talking about their hopes for their birth experience. A highlight for them was being able to cuddle and relax in their own bed and enjoy the bliss right after Thea was born while being cared for by Kari and Kris.
