I must be completely honest here - I once thought of myself as one of those people (and so did my husband.) We decided that we were never having children because they were messy, annoying, and would wreck our relationship and all our nice expensive stuff (and house.)

Then something amazing happened...God blessed us with a pregnancy. After the intial shock and fear, we both fell in love with who we thought would be our little boy, Nicholas Christopher. One month after we found out about him, I had a miscarriage and he was gone. He will forever be in our hearts as the child who changed our minds about having children - now I can't wait to have one.

I'm not saying everyone would feel the same way we did..my husband and I are Christians, and would never even think to end a pregnancy out of our own power. I have a feeling the majority of these women in the article don't believe in God or Jesus, and would not have a problem terminating their pregnancy. Actually, when I considered myself 'childfree,' women on a website would refer to their accidental pregnancies as 'parasites.' I could never do that myself, but for some women, that's what they are.

I have never felt love for another person like I felt for Nicholas, and I can't wait until I can hold a baby that's both a part of myself and my husband.

Never say never. :-)

We have made similar choices, but would probably feel the same if fate affected us as it did you.
