The family is overjoyed with their small (big) miracle
The Patonai family in the US state of Arizona literally experienced a big surprise when their son Finlay was born weighing 6.5 kg. Mama Carrie Patonai and Papa Tim are overjoyed about their miracles – as the couple has had multiple miscarriages before.
