Mother hears dead baby boy`s heartbeat for the first time
A woman whose seven-month-old son died after being reportedly abused by a babysitter`s boyfriend donated his organs - and has now heard the boy`s heartbeat in a young girl.
Heather Clark couldn`t hide her emotions as she listened to the heart of four-year-old organ recipient Jordan Drake at Phoenix Children`s Hospital.

Moment mother hears son`s donated heart in little girl`s chest.



Donate Life Arizona wrote on Facebook Saturday: `Amid the unthinkable grief of losing her son Lukas, Heather made a decision that saved three lives.

`Jordan received Lukas` precious heart when she was just 18 months old.

`Yesterday, Heather heard her son`s heartbeat for the first time in nearly three years.`

Clark and Drake`s mother, Esther Gonzalez, were filmed by KDVR crying and hugging while meeting one another for the first time.

Gonzalez was heard telling Clark: `I just can`t believe this is happening.`

Jordan gifted Clark with a red teddy bear covered in pink hearts that when pressed made a heartbeat sound.

`That`s Lukas` heartbeat,` Gonzalez explained, leading to Clark crying.

`Thank you, Jordan,` Clark said. `It`s perfect.`

Clark also put on a stethoscope and placed it upon Jordan`s chest, listening to her late son`s heart beating.

`It`s so strong,` Clark was filmed saying. When she was done, Clark gave Jordan a hug and a kiss.

Jordan later used the stethoscope herself, and heard Clark`s heartbeat.

Clark also shared photographs of Lukas at the emotional meeting.

At one point, Clark told Gonzalez in the footage: `And another amazing thing with donating his organs is it gave me the chance to hold him again.`

Clark said in a January 22 post on the Facebook page Justice For Lukas Scot: `One week from today I will be listening to Lukas` heartbeat once again.

`I will be holding Jordan in my arms showering her with love and kisses!`

Fox 10 Phoenix reported that Jordan was born with a congenital heart defect.

According to the news outlet, Lukas died in 2013 after being abused by his babysitter`s boyfriend.

Clark told the TV channel there is a child abuse investigation.

Gonzalez told Fox 10 Phoenix: `We`re family now, we`re friends now, our families are families, we`ve brought our families together.`
