pregnant and scared at 30

I just found your blog, and I wanted to share my story with you. I was living in Mexico teaching English when I found out I was pregnant. I was 30 years old, so not a young girl, but I was scared nonetheless. My boyfriend and I started making plans to get married quickly, and I just thought that I would spend the rest of my life in Mexico. Things unraveled in our relationship very fast, and my boyfriend decided he didn’t want to marry me. I returned home to be with my family in the U.S., feeling depressed and devastated. I was about 2 months pregnant at the time. I had no idea how I was going to manage to be a single mother……..

Slowly, God began to show his love and grace to me, and today, I am a single mother to Ruby who is almost 19 months. I think your website is such a great resource for girls who think they can’t do it and that abortion is the only way out. My message to other girls in this situation is that they CAN do it. It’s hard, but Ruby’s smiles and laughs make it worth it every single day. She is truly the greatest gift to come out of such a difficult and tragic situation.
