I have read some of the experiences and questions on this site, i am a 19 yr old mother of two beatuiful children and i once considered abortion with my eldest(2yrs). i couldn't do it and im glad, i cry when i think of what i could of done, especially since the second time i got pregnant i miscarried at 15 weeks and oh my god i was treated like i had went in with a sprained ankle. That experience will never leave me, now ive just had a little girl so i have one of each and i just want to say to all the women on this site that are confused about what to do, no matter what has happened your baby has a right to live, i grew up in care and know of so many couples who can't have children. if having a baby is just too much then adopt them out, please condsider this as a big option, so many women don't then have to live in regret, can your conscience cope?

Hi Sarah,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your convictions and a personal part of you life! I love that aspect about this forum. There are so many wonderful women here. I agree wholeheartedly with your thought that abortion is a great option for a woman convinced she simply cannot be a mother right now. It's definitely a win/win situation in most cases, more so than ever with the current open structure of adoptions.

I'm so glad for the blessing of your two little ones. Motherhood is impossible to describe in the deepness of the joy it brings, isn't it? I never understood until I became one myself. It's one of the greatest beauties I will ever know.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Heather
