Amanda Foster, a mother from Kentucky, recently shared an ultrasound photo that has captured hearts worldwide. In the image, what appears to be a large, hand-like shape gently cradles the head of her unborn baby. For Amanda, this was no coincidence—it was a sign of divine protection.
Her journey to this moment has been filled with both heartbreak and hope. Years ago, Amanda and her husband Kyle lost their first son, Xavier, to Potter syndrome, a rare and often fatal condition. The grief left her angry and distant from her faith. But over time, blessings came—two healthy daughters and later, a healthy son named Jay, free from the condition that took Xavier.
Now expecting another boy, Kyler, Amanda faced new fears when doctors detected a heart defect early in the pregnancy. Instead of giving in to worry, she turned to prayer, asking God to watch over her baby. Then, during a routine ultrasound, her youngest daughter, Bailey, pointed at the screen and asked, “Whose hand is that?” The image showed what looked like a large hand tenderly holding Kyler’s head.
Amanda shared the photo online, and it quickly went viral, with many seeing it as a miraculous sign. While some might dismiss it as an odd shadow, to Amanda, it was a powerful reassurance—proof that she was never alone in her struggles.
At 36 weeks pregnant, Amanda eagerly awaits Kyler’s arrival, holding onto faith and the belief that miracles still happen.
