This is my first time posting here, but this is a subject I feel strongly about. Feel free to share this with your niece.

At 14 years old, I got pregnant and was forced by my mother to abort. The most painful thing I've had to live with. Still a stupid kid, at 17 years old, I became pregnant again. I gave birth to a beautiful boy and placed him for adoption.

Now married, with 3 children, I can tell you that abortion is NEVER the answer.

3 years ago God truly blessed me. The child I placed for adoption found me and contacted me. His reason for the contact???? He wanted to thank me for NOT KILLING HIM!!! We have a wonderful relationship now and he is very close to his brothers and his sister.

I truly believe God brought him back into my life because I did the right thing by giving birth to him and placing him with two parents that could raise him properly.

I know I have been rambling, but please, please make your neice understand that abortion is something you carry with you forever. It scars your heart and soul. Adoption on the other hand...........you give your child life and hope and a FUTURE!!

As an adoptive mom, I can't thank you enough for your post. Words from women like you, that have walked the walk, can save babies.

God bless you, Tommi.

wow...what a testimony. I spend so much of my time avoiding doing what God wants me to do....forgetting the blessings that can come when we actually DO what God wants us to do.

God bless you and your family....and thank you for posting.
