And they all lived Happily...

This young lady is truly a blessing in my life!

In February she came to the EMC Brooklyn office with her heart set on abortion. She comes from a single parent home where her mother would not respond well to her pregnancy on a cultural level. Rather than dealing with the shame and disgrace of having a child outside of marriage, she wanted to make the "problem" go away.

However, God brought her to us.

We gave her a sonogram and counseled her about the truth of what abortion really is. She didn't really want the abortion, she just didn't know what else to do about her circumstances. After getting a vision of her situation, we encouraged her to speak with the Sisters of Life. After a lot of discussion with her mother, the Sisters were able to convince her mother that her daughter's baby was not going to be the end of her life.

Now she has a new job and is getting prenatal care. She has come to visit us about every other week or so and is always filled with vivacious joy. The father of the child is supporting her and helping with preparations for the baby. The baby is now 13 weeks old and looking healthy.

She is happy and thriving... in fact, they all are! Mom, Dad and Little Baby!
