Stephanie,

I'm sorry your mother is not 100% supportive right now, but I agree with the others who've posted that she will likely come around. I just feel so strongly that if YOU don't want to have an abortion, YOU shouldn't have one - regardless of what ANYONE else says. I have never known of anyone regretting NOT having had an abortion - but I know of way too many who have regretted having had an abortion...and then it's too late.

I'll say a prayer for you - that you feel strengthened and at peace with bringing your little one into the world. Some day, years from now, you'll look back at this time and be so incredibly grateful that you had the inner strength to know what was right for you and to stand firm in spite of the circumstances and attitudes of some of the people around you. In fact, you'll probably be hard-pressed to even remember all of the fears that are plaguing you right now - but you'll know the joy and love of your child.

Sharon

Stephanie, 21 years ago I was in a very similar situation. Anyway, after one earlier abortion, I prayed and knew God did not want me to have an abortion. It was the Lord who was tugging at my heart. I too went to the abortion clinic and walked out. Anyway, my daughter was born 7 months later and I chose to give her up for adoption. The most wonderful family adopted Danielle and yes I cried when they took her away from me but I knew it was a blessing upon my soul to choose life. Only recently, Danielle located me and we spoke on the phone. she thanked me and told me she loves me and thank you for chosing life and giving her to a wonderful mom and dad. I thank the Lord Jesus daily that Danielle has had a wonderful life. Would you believe here it is years later and my now husband and I adopted a little boy that was supose to be aborted and God introduced the birthmom to us and here is Josh. Josh is now 6 and my kiss from heaven. Please contact me if I can help you in any way. Ladies, Life is beautiful and there are many couples out there who have loving hearts and there is no need to choose abortion. Lots of love, Debbie
