I happend upon this website and your story compelled me to register, so I could reply. Reading your story I could not help think of myself. Here is my story: When I was about 16 my mom(whom I constantly fought with) confided in me about having previous abortions. She also told me how hard it was to forgive herself all these years later. I saw the pain in her eyes, and heard the deep regret in her voice. I realized at that moment how real abortion is. I was so desensitized to abortion. A little while later I too found out I was about 11 weeks pregnant. unexpectantly I was pregnant. I was scared to death! My boyfriend was too. I had so firmly believed abortion was not the right choice. Now I found myself in this position I never thought I would. We lived in the tiniest apartment and could not pay our bills as it was. We ate Top Ramen for lunch and dinner:) I worked 2-3 jobs and went to school part time. I finally realized how easy, and tempting it was to choose to have an abortion. I was so stinking scared. No one would even know if I had one. I could keep living the life I was, nothing would change. I finally could sympathize and forgive my mom for destroying half of my siblings. Her story helped me stand firm and not have an abortion. I prayed, and prayed, and God has blessed me. I don’t know where I found the courage to accept the responsibility I had been given, but I did. I won’t lie: we’ve gone through some rough times since. The challenges we have faced have made us so stong. Looking back I would never have changed history. In fact after our son was born we loved being parents so much we decided to have another one right away. Now we have two of the most amazing boys, and we love our life. When I look into my oldest son’s eyes, I sometimes think of that fateful day when I found out I was pregnant, I remember the fear I felt, and the painful tears I shed. I know how scared you feel. I was there. Now I can look back and see it in perspective. I can tell you It is a joy to have a child! I thank God I had the strength to follow my heart. Four years ago I basically had nothing. Now I have a beautiful family, and recently opened by own CLOTHING BOUTIQUE, and yes I have a very active social life. Let me know if you have any other questions.
