Yes. We had a thread about this sometime earlier this year. A lady from my church lost her "little angel" pre-term and received one of these quilts/receiving blankets. She was so grateful to feel that her child was acknowledged and remembered. She said that so often if a baby is born full-term & dies after a couple months, people expect there will be a memorial/funeral or people will sit shiva or whatever their cultural-religious beliefs dictate; however, when a child is lost pre-term, it can feel like "people just want to sweep the loss under the rug". To her (and this is not always the case), it was important to be supported & allowed to grieve for the loss of her child and the teeny "Adelaide's Angel Wrap" allowed her to wrap up her tiny child & have a proper Christian burial. She buried her little one wrapped in that quilt. I wasn't involved with that project, but I know there was talk of making a second Angel Wrap that the mother could keep as a memorial of her angel baby.
