They easily (unfortunately) could have. I am forever grateful that their birthmoms chose life. It makes me so very sad to think about the ease and prevalence of abortion in our nation. In the last few months, it has hit very close to home. Someone my mom knows told my mom that she was getting an abortion. My mom thankfully talked her out of it (and she ended up having a miscarriage). A woman my sister works with actually did get an abortion. I cried each time. I just wanted to plead with them. I wanted to show them my babies and their beautiful, happy smiles. I wanted to show these women how much my babies are loved. I wanted to show them the beautiful life that their babies could have.
Today marks 40 years since our nation decided that society's most vulnerable people no longer got a voice. Their mothers now had the voice for them. I can only hope and pray that this changes. That we can someday soon give them a voice again. And that for the time being, their mothers can choose life for their children.
Rachael and Jenna are strong, strong women. Adoption is not easy, but it is beautiful. And my children will never forget the choice these women made.

Beautiful, Karen.
I greatly admire the Mother Teresa quote. And I am so glad Luke's birth mom chose life!
