i remember this story back in the late 80's. for 2 days, the nation was focused on this little girl. it is interesting to read about her now, at the young age of just 21. to be honest, i haven't thought about her in years...never really wondered what became of her. good to hear that she's alive and a mother herself. as I read the article, i was shocked to hear that her mom and dad were just teenagers when she was born. i don't know if i just blocked that out or was too young to comprehend. also, the number of surgeries were shocking. here's to baby jessica...may the media continue to leave you alone for another 5 years.
