The MISS Foundation has released a public service announcement that portrays the experiences of bereaved parents after stillbirth. A very sensitive and controversial video, it speaks of the enormity ofthis public health issue. The main point of this video is targeted towards states that do not offer birth certificates for still born babies. The MISS Foundation actively campaigns to those states to pass a "MISSing Angels Bill" to provide a birth certificate to the parents. I am happy to say that the state of Virginia passed the MISSing Angels Bill a couple of years ago and I got a Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth for Catherine, but there are so many other parents out there who get nothing but a death certificate.
