Star Legacy Foundation

Star Legacy Foundation Nonprofit dedicated to the prevention and care of pregnancy loss, stillbirth and neonatal death.

Who We Are
The Star Legacy Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to stillbirth research and education. We are a community of parents, families, and friends of stillborn babies who are dedicated to reducing the number of families that endure such a needless tragedy. Star Legacy Foundation is headquartered in Minnesota with 8 Chapters across the United States. We Believe…
*Man

y stillbirths are preventable.
*Expectant parents should be informed about stillbirth risks and educated on ways to protect their pregnancy.
*Standard prenatal protocols should include a third trimester ultrasound to identify known stillbirth risk factors and subsequent management through home fetal monitoring when risk factors are identified.
*A national stillbirth registry should be created with mandatory participation to accurately collect stillbirth data.
*Stillbirth autopsies should be encouraged and performed consistently with established protocols.
*Stillborn children should be recognized with a certificate of birth.
*Families deserve and are entitled to support and guidance when facing the delivery of a stillborn child.
*Stillbirth, birth injury (cerebral palsy and others), premature birth and miscarriages may have some common denominators – finding answers to stillbirth may enlighten the path to reducing miscarriage, premature birth, and birth injury. The Star Legacy Foundation was created to honor the memory of precious children who live in the stars, but had an enormous impact on those of us here.

One of our loss moms shared something many grieving parents know too well: hearing comments like “it was God’s plan” or “everything happens for a reason” after the death of their baby can be deeply painful, even when they are meant with kindness.

She is struggling with how to respond when these words come from family, friends, and coworkers, especially at work where it can be so hard to regain focus after being caught off guard by hurtful comments.

If you have faced this too, what has helped you navigate these conversations? How do you protect your heart while responding to people who may not understand the impact of what they are saying?

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. Your words may help another parent feel less alone. 🤍🫶

This Memorial Day, we’re honored to share a conversation with Dr. Lakeatta Tonge - retired Air Force Major, nurse, educator, maternal health advocate, and founder of Airmen’s Angels. ._tonge

After 24 years of military service, Dr. Tonge continues to support military families navigating pregnancy and infant loss, postpartum mental health, and pregnancy after loss with deep compassion and lived experience. In this episode, she shares the unique challenges military families face while grieving, the importance of showing up for one another, and why no family should have to navigate loss alone.

Today, on World Milk Donation Day, we recognize that every family’s decision after the loss of their baby is deeply personal, and whatever you chose was the right decision for you. 🤍

Producing milk after loss comes with many emotions. Our free brochure, Lactation After Loss, was created to support families as they navigate this difficult and often unexpected part of grief. Whether you are looking for information, considering milk donation, or simply trying to understand your options, we are here for you.

All of our resources are always completely free and ship at no cost. They are available for families directly and are also shared by many medical professionals caring for bereaved parents.

💬 Comment LAL and we’ll send you more info.

Did you donate your milk after loss? If you feel comfortable sharing, we’d love to hear your experience in the comments. And no matter what decision you made, please know it was the right one for you. Sending love, always. 💙
