Jesus was born during the height of the pandemic, at twenty-three weeks gestation, weighing just one pound. For the six months that he stayed in the NICU, his mom was allowed only one 30-minute visit each week. Angisselle was not allowed to touch her baby.

I started in 2010 I believe.  I reached out to CFC after seeing a posting on Idealist for an internship for my graduate degree program. I immediately thought it was interesting and unique and was really up my alley. I really wanted to work with women in some capacity and in terms of parenting I knew there would be a lot of women involved with that, not to say it was only women but it really opened up my interest in parenting.

What Liz and Hillary did was speak about clinical work and attachment theory and they helped us put the mom and baby in the room together.
