My mother gave me up for adoption. She could have aborted me but chose to let me live and have a blessed life. I thank God and her every day.

My mom got pregnant with me and had me when she was around 21. My biological father did not stick around, he wanted her to abort me. My mom’s mom, my grandma, also told my mom to think about having an abortion. My mom had a friend and a coworker who both told her she should not abort me, and her coworker led her to Christ. Because my mom did not abort me, I now have a family of my own, with 4 kids.

I was only 15 when I got pregnant and both my mother and bio fathers mother tried to convince me to have an abortion, i got yelled at because I said no. Next month my daughter will turn 16 years old and she's beautiful and amazing.

On my second pregnancy, my baby tested positive for spinal bifida. The doctor said, "as a Christian, I don't recommend it, but as a doctor, I have to tell you that you have the option to abort because the tests come out each time with a higher chance of the deffect."
I told the doctor, "absolutely NOT! That is my baby, I felt him move, I heard his heart. If he dies, I'll go with him! If God thinks i can handle it, then i can handle it."
God gave me a perfectly beautiful baby. Completely healthy, so smart!
He knows the story, since he was little, the first time he heard it, with tears filled eyes, he hugged me really hard an said, "thank you for not killing me mom!"
Best decision I ever made! Choose life!

My mother was told by doctors to abort her baby to save her life. My mom and dad already had 5 children. They also looked to God . She had twins, me and my twin sister and mom are doing great! Mom is 84 and we are 54. Thank you God!

My birth mom gave me up for adoption right after having me. When she found out she was pregnant with me, she was very young. She wanted to keep me but she had no support. Her boyfriend left her, her mom kicked her out. She ended up homeless until a church member took her in and helped her get the adoption process started, housed her, fed her, etc. She could have saved all of that persecution from her family and aborted me but she gave me LIFE. I am 39 now, have had 3 kids myself and had a beautiful life with my adopted family. I finally got to meet my birthmom years ago. Its been such a blessing! Growing up, my adopted mom helped run our local abortion alternatives clinic and we walked marathons every fall for babies lives! Abortion is NEVER the answer! Let go and let GOD❤

I’m a twin and the doctors tried to convince my mom to abort me because I was not thriving as much as my sister.. I was born 6w early and a whopping 5lbs if she would have listened I would not be a mother today and I would have never gotten the privilege to meet my husband and create this beautiful family!

My aunt had quads. The doctors told her to abort two. She decided not to. Now they are 22 and healthy adults.

My mom at 17, sitting down at the clinic (due family member pressure since she was so young and hadn’t graduated I assume) ran out of there and met with my dad. So thankful they fought for me. They were young and it wasn’t easy for them. But here I am, married with my own family and thankful to the Lord I get to experience life.

My mom was diagnosed with stage four cervical cancer while pregnant with me. Due to the severity of her cancer diagnosis, she was advised by several doctors to abort the pregnancy and have a radical hysterectomy.
Even her own family and husband were not supportive. They all wanted her to have an abortion. Something told her to trust God and just go forward with a pregnancy. Despite all the opposition, I was born healthy, and my mother even went on to have my younger brother three years later. I am 42 years old with five beautiful children of my own. Praise God for his protection and provision!

My mom was on the table when her mom found her after hearing that her boyfriend’s mom took her to get an abortion to save her son’s reputation. That was 61 years ago. My granny didn’t even have a driver license, got in grandpas car and drove around and found my other grandmas car and busted in to get her daughter and save my life! God bless

Running into two unrelated triplets is pretty rare.
What a blessing that their mothers cared enough to let them have a chance to live!
I live near a small town, like 4500+/- people, where two sets of twins, and one set of triplets were all in one class of around 50 kids.

The sheer SIZE of these dudes just prove so many things. One: just because a baby might be sick in the womb doesn’t mean that they won’t grow to be huge adults. And two: just because a baby might be sick in the womb does NOT mean you should abort them!!!

My mother tried to pressure me into aborting my 3rd child almost 35 years ago. I was in a shelter and had 2 small children already, running from an abusive situation. I did not because I don't believe in killing your baby to get you out of a bad situation because it doesn't. I've had 4 children all together.

Currently pregnant with triplets. Offered/asked if I wanted termination or fetal reduction 3 times. I've heard from every other triplet mom I've spoken with that they were all offered the same thing. I'm giving birth next month and everyone is so healthy!

My mother was a 17 year old drug addict who wanted to abort me but my paternal grandmother begged her not to and instead suggested that she would raise me..and she did, since I was born. She died in 2007. I thank God everyday for her brave decision and for my mothers to continue with the pregnancy. ❤️

My mom had a heart attack when she was pregnant with my little brother. Her OB told her that she would drop her as a patient if she didn’t get an abortion. Mom talked to her cardiologist (who was furious at this) and reassured my mom that they would do everything to keep them both safe. My brother turned 40 this year, and my mom turned 77.

Here's my story. I could have been aborted, but I was given up for adoption instead. Same with my adopted brother. Same with my adopted husband. Same with my adopted sister-in-law. Same with my good friend growing up. All five of us could have never been born and make our way in this life. Thank you, biological mother. Thank you, mom and dad, for everything.

I have a daughter with Down syndrome. They found out she had a heart defected and scheduled an abortion before talking to me about it ASSUMING my husband and I wouldn't want her. I said no, she was made in love, with purpose, and we love her. She is 11 now, the oldest of our four kids, and homeschooling along with her siblings and thriving!
