Yesterday a young woman walked into one of the Pregnancy Centres and she looked very sad if I may say so. During the filling out of the form with all the information which is our standard procedure with new clients, it appeared that her boyfriend had been shot dead a month ago by some of his friends and she had witnessed the whole thing. She was still traumatized. At that moment, she was already 2 months pregnant, but she didn´t know that, and neither did her boyfriend. And now, a month later she was sitting on our sofa. Because of the poor relationship with the boyfriends family, and her fears of the child remembering her of the dad and other things I will not mention here, she wanted an abortion. We talked to her, talked to her, and talked to her again. We showed her the Abortion Procedures movie and the Choice Blues ( A live abortion which shows how big the aborted baby really is) and after seeing them she decided that she doesn´t want an abortion. She has an appointment with an adoption agency next week. That is why we do this work. Making sure that the dad isn´t the only one who will never get to see his baby.
People often have a wrong impression of adoption. They think the child is going to end up in some orphanage, miserable and lonely, when in fact there is a huge demand for American adoption kids. Because of the many abortions, there is a shortage of American kids. That´s why many couples go to Asia and Africa, as there are lots of children there. The greatest gift a mother can give her child is life. I´m sure there no adopted kids that aren´t grateful that their mother let them live in stead of aborting them. And all these kids are wanted, their adoptive parents are waiting for their children and they are so welcome.
Let´s just pray that this lovely woman will be strong and brave enough to show up at the appointment and that she will keep her baby.
