DUGGAR FAMILY
Snaps Pic of Miscarried Baby
The family from TLC's "19 Kids & Counting" chose a unique way to commemorate the life of their 20th child, who passed away this week in a miscarriage -- they took an artsy picture of the fetal corpse ... and distributed it at the memorial.
Jubilee Shalom Duggar was due in April ... but Michelle Duggar suffered a miscarriage on Sunday in her 2nd trimester.
The Duggars held a memorial today at their church in Arkansas, where they distributed the above photographs -- containing messages like, "There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world."
The photos were first posted on Twitter by a family member -- and then surfaced on a fan site.
We reached out to the family for comment -- so far, no word back.

I actually think it's ok to take pictures of your stillborn baby, but just for your own private keepsake. I don't agree with publishing them for the world to see--that's a bit wrong. While a very sad thing to have happen, I've been in the labor and delivery unit at work, drawing blood on mothers of stillborns, and some do take photos of them holding the baby. It serves to help the healing process in some, and a way to get to know the baby, at least for a few moments before you have to part with the child.

When I read the subject of this post, my jaw dropped. Then I saw the pics. I think they are tasteful. What is terrible is the person(s) who shared them outside the memorial. That is heartless.
