In this heart-touching video, we share the incredible story of Maverick, a true miracle baby born at just 25 weeks, weighing only 1 lb, 10.5 ounces. Maverick's parents, Ricky Schopp and Jessica Kragness, take us through their emotional journey of hope and healing, sharing their experiences and gratitude.

Everything was going perfectly until the day Maverick was born, and it became a race against time. They describe the most dramatic moments they faced while waiting to find out if their little one had a heartbeat.
