The quietude that settled over their home while their daughter, Aria, was at school prompted Jalynn and Kris Stringer to begin planning for a second child. Their hopes for a growing family were realized in the spring of 2021 with the news of Jalynn’s pregnancy. Despite a mild illness, the pregnancy initially progressed smoothly.

However, a routine ultrasound at 20 weeks brought unexpected news. Their unborn daughter, Amaya, displayed several developmental anomalies, including underdeveloped legs and potential ear malformations. The extent of Amaya’s differences remained uncertain.

Faced with the agonizing choice of terminating the pregnancy or embracing the unknown, Jalynn and Kris chose love and hope. On December 17, 2021, Amaya was born.

To keep friends and family updated on Amaya’s progress, Jalynn and Aria created a social media page dedicated to their daughter. The page quickly gained traction, attracting followers from around the globe. Today, with over 360,000 followers, Amaya’s journey has captured the hearts of many.

Amaya, a vibrant child born without legs, thrives thanks to the unwavering support of her family and the global community. The Stringers travel extensively, sharing Amaya’s radiant smile with the world through frequent posts and photos. Their story is a testament to the power of love, acceptance, and the profound impact of community support.
