March 14 is my birthday. I wasn't supposed to be born. I was conceived out of wedlock and my mother's family encouraged her to have an abortion. Back then, however, the only place where she could have done that was in Puerto Rico. She chose to bring me into this world. The other women in the hospital who shared her situation, chose to give their children up for adoption. My mother was adamant; she kept me.

Tomorrow, on my birthiday, I will give my mother a beautiful plant that represents new growth and thank her for choosing life. Please consider doing something similar with your mothers on your birthdays. Consider what might have happened in today's world, had they chosen to terminate your life.

My mother was 12 years old when I was born and turned 13, 19 days afterward!

Dad was 17.

If there ever was a good excuse for an abortion .. I guess you could say that I would have been it!

Thank God that my parents didn’t think so!

This was in South Florida back in 1952.

So glad you were born and that your mom kept you. I am also grateful for what you do on FR. This was powerful testimony.

And Happy Birthday!
