Nothing Is Impossible

“In spite of being caught up in a whirling vortex of devastation and sorrow, I came close to my baby boy, still in his first few moments of life. When I looked at his face, I was surprised to see that it was very similar to mine and my father’s. From that moment I felt strongly and affectionately connected to him. He was my precious son for whom I had waited so long.”

—Jang Ho Kim

The Story

In February 1993, the Kim family of South Korea welcomed a baby boy into their family and named him Young Wan. He was born with a severe form of spina bifida, a condition which doctors in South Korea were unwilling to treat. Their advice to the Kims was to take their son home and let him die. 

But the Kims refused to give up. They did their best to care for Young Wan on their own, but devastating complications threatened to take his life only weeks after he was born.

 

When hope seemed lost, a miraculous connection was made between the Kim family and Kathy Baird, a mother and patient advocate living in Kaysville, Utah, USA. With her help (and plenty of divine intervention), the Kims immigrated to the United States and received the treatment necessary to preserve their precious son’s life.

Their journey was filled with many sacrifices and miracles, and as a result the two families became forever entwined. The story they have lived is a humbling testament of the truth that with God, nothing is impossible.
