This is like nothing I’ve ever written before. It’s an open plea for prayer, an open window into my heart and that of my wife, Sarah, and an open last-ditch effort to reach out to a cherished young Jewish woman in New York City who finds herself in a desperate situation.
Most importantly, it’s a frantic attempt to save a life – the precious life of a precious person whom, though we’ve never met, we already love.
Let me explain.
I was thumbing through my Twitter feed the other night and came across a tweet that immediately caught my eye. A woman named Queline (short for Jaqueline), wrote, “I will terminate a pregnancy soon. These things aren’t fun or easy.”

It might work if the money was controlled by a third party for the benefit of the child to provide for prenatal and postnatal care until the adoption was complete.
We offered three times to take a baby rather than have the mother abort. Each time the woman killed her baby rather than be inconvenienced and let someone else raise it.
