Stopping Abortion: An Adoptees Retrospect for Life

Its your body right? You can do as you please...you can place as many souls in it and look for an abortion when things just don't go right. Right? Think again. Your body is a temple and should be treated as such...A baby shouldn't have to pay the price for your one night of pleasure...


I say this as an adoptee. Because I had the chance for life 27 years ago. I was adopted by my amazing parents straight from the hospital and sometimes I think what if the birth mother wouldn't have given me the chance of life? What if my parent's heart didn't yearn to do something noble? Well, for one, I wouldn't  be spreading God's word through this site to countless young ladies. There's no doubt in my mind that I'm here for a purpose, yet sometimes I wonder what if I didn't exist.

What if the woman that chose adoption for me was the next patient in line for a quick fix to her life's problems?

Each time I hear of someone getting an abortion, not only doesn't my stomach cringe but I'm crying on the inside to my heavenly Father wondering how could someone do something so cruel to an innocent human being. Ladies there has got to be a point where you stop and reflect on your actions. Stop listening to yourself when you're suddenly pregnant and don't want the baby or the guy you're involved with doesn't. Its time to be responsible. If you feel as though you can't take care of a child at the moment, do the right thing and seek adoption agencies that will assist you in finding a good home for the child. Anything, but abortion or other methods that leave a child's life gone. I can assure you that there are plenty of loving families on waiting lists around the world eager to invite a child into their home.

I recently read an article that said, people should stop saying a mother is "giving up" her

child for adoption.Ladies giving up sounds like you've been defeated by the enemy. If you choose adoption for your unborn baby you're being responsible. You're not a failure if you choose adoption. I pray you choose wisely. Because it truly saddens me as I look at statistics from the Guttmacher Institute that reports, "half of pregnancies among American women are unintended, and about four in 10 of these end in abortion. Also, "Nine in 10 abortions occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy."

Ladies choose wisely! Save a precious life!

For more information or statistics on abortion visit the Guttmacher Institute at www.guttmacher.org.

If you're seeking to find a family for your unborn baby, as stated before SEEK adoption agencies that can assist you in your area. 

If you're a family searching for information on adoption visit www.adopt.org. I love their motto, "There are no unwanted children, just unfound families." Their mission is to find homes for children in foster care. I applaud this organization and others similar to it, because not only did my parent's adopt me but our home was also a home for several foster children while I was growing up.

I'll leave with the following scripture, as it reminds me we were all brought into this world with a purpose:

 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."~Psalm 139:13-16
