OUR STORY
About Keeping Pace with Multiple Miracles
HOW THE ORGANIZATION DEVELOPED
Two mothers, one shared understanding
Pam and Donna met for tea and discussed why the twin group was not sufficient to meet their needs. Essentially, they discovered that mothers of high multiples had little time to do things, found it difficult to maintain relationships, and could not even make it out of their homes.
Eventually, they decided that other mothers of multiples would benefit from the same type of friendship and support connection that they found in each other. Thus, they decided to found the KPMM organization and meet the needs of all mothers of multiples. Their main goal was to form a network of families to offer support in coping with the challenges that come with parenting multiples.
ABOUT THE FOUNDERS
Two very different journeys to multiples.
Donna Baker
CO-FOUNDER
Became pregnant unexpectedly
Had a solid support system of family and friends
Was on bed rest at home
Had relatively few complications during pregnancy
Gave birth to healthy triplet boys at 35 weeks
Pam Pace
CO-FOUNDER
Dealt with years of invasive infertility treatments before becoming pregnant
Did not have family or friends nearby to help, or a real support system
Was on bed rest in the hospital
Gave birth to premature triplets (2 girls and 1 boy) at 29 weeks
WHAT BROUGHT THEM TOGETHER
"Every pregnancy is unique, and every mother needs unique support." Pam and Donna met at a twin support group and became close friends — realizing that the needs of parents of twins, triplets, or more were far different from the needs of parents raising one child at a time."
