Many of the clients we get are young women, some as young as 14 years old. They come in feeling down and like nothing can go right. Feeling like abortion is their only and best alternative. Most of them fearing their parents reaction, not wanting to tell them because they're afraid of getting kicked out of the house. Feeling alone and scared, they come to us wanting an abortion.
Seeing the reality of what it means to have an abortion they are face with the reality of, I don't want to go through an abortion but yet I'm scared to tell my parents. Adoption for most of them is something they will not do, they just can't see themselves giving their babies away.
Some of our clients do choose to confront the situation and deal with the consequences that have brought them to that point. Still scared of what their parents will say, they decide to keep their babies. Most soon realized that they were only scared for the unknown but are surprised with their parents support, that even thought they are still disappointed with their choices they will still stand with their daughters even if the boyfriend won't.
This was the case of one of my clients, 18 years old, came in wanting an abortion because her boyfriend dumped her as soon as he found out she was pregnant. Not wanting to tell her parents about it because she was scared of how they would react, she felt abortion was her best and only option. We spoke with her and did everything that we could to help her, asking God to talk through us, Which their is no dough it my mind that it was him speaking to her through us. After listening to what we had to say and hearing her babies heart beat; crying, she decided to keep her baby. Later that week we spoke and she told me that her mom was really disappointed in her but that she was going to be there for her. Today both she and her mom came in for a sonogram as the Grandma wanted to see her grandchild. They both had this amazingly beautiful smile on their faces as they saw the baby moving around. As they both left, they both thanked me, that meant so much to me but without God, none of that could have been possible.
