UK Mother Gives Birth Early So Her Dying Partner Could Hold Their Daughter

And that was the beginning of Hunter’s nightmare. Grappling with grief, a newborn and five other children, Hunter had to go through a grueling two-year process to get Jamie’s name on their daughter’s birth certificate.
The mother of six, who changed her last name to Jamie’s shortly before his death, had to go to lawyers and submit DNA samples of her deceased partner and newborn daughter. She had to move his body from a funeral home to a hospital to get Jamie’s sample, and the transfer barred her from seeing him for several weeks.
