I had an abortion in 2020, and it broke me to my core. I cried every day for years and felt completely empty.
When I found out I was pregnant again in August, it didn’t feel like good news. I seriously contemplated abortion again. I didn’t want to raise a baby alone, especially after the baby’s father showed his disapproval and walked away.
However, after speaking with Deb and Serena, I chose life.
The father blocked me, and I walked through my entire pregnancy alone. However, over time, my family came around, and despite the circumstances, it turned out to be a remarkably peaceful pregnancy.
Choosing life was 100% the right decision.
On April 8, 2025, I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy, Theo. My heart is so full. I couldn’t be happier.
I know I can’t replace the baby I lost in 2020, but I’ve been given a second chance.

a chance to be a mom again, a chance at healing, and I couldn’t be more thankful
