| Toya Holmes and Broderick Parrish Sr. welcome son Broderick Lanard Parrish, who was the first baby born in Southeastern Massachusetts in 2010. | |
Toya Holmes and Broderick Parrish Sr. of Fall River had a baby boy, Broderick Lanard Parrish, weighing 7 pounds, 1 ounce. This is the couple's first child.
"He is a very special boy — we have been married for 15 years and never thought we would be able to have a baby ... he is a miracle," Holmes said.
