Kentucky Mom Sees What She Believes Is a Divine Blessing During Ultrasound
A Touch From Above
At 32 weeks pregnant, Amanda Foster saw something extraordinary during her ultrasound. The 33-year-old Kentucky mother spotted what looked like a large hand gently resting on her baby’s head. She immediately shared the image online, where it quickly went viral. Many called it a “miracle”.
A Pregnancy Marked by Fear
Amanda and her husband Kyle are expecting a baby boy. But their joy has been shadowed by worry. Early scans showed a serious defect near their son’s heart aorta.
“At every check-up, I prayed for God to place His hand over my baby,” Amanda said, her voice trembling with emotion. That prayer seemed answered in a way she never imagined.

Finding Hope Again
In September 2021, Amanda renewed her faith.
“I was tired and beaten down. I handed my life over to Jesus Christ,” she said.
Two months later, she became pregnant with a healthy boy—now almost three years old.
“This pregnancy is our miracle continued,” Amanda beams.
A Family Moment of Joy
During a recent ultrasound, Amanda’s daughter Bailey noticed the “hand” first.
“Mom, look at the hand!” she exclaimed.
The image brought Amanda to tears.
“I’m beyond grateful for everything God has done—and continues to do—for our family,” she said.
A Sign of Grace
While skeptics see an ultrasound artifact, the Fosters see something more. They believe it’s a clear sign of God’s protection and blessing.
For them, this image carries deep meaning as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives.
