Feeling completely trapped and option-less, I felt that the only choice I had was abortion. I felt like I was forced into it just as much as last time. I was uninsured, living with my boyfriend who is gone more than he is here, no money and no support from my family or anyone else. How can I be pregnant with no money, no job and no support? I was scared and desperate.
A few weeks earlier my cousin posted a link on her Facebook about a gay couple who is once again looking to add to their family. They have one 2 year old son already are are looking to expand. I had an appointment set up for October 2nd to get an abortion. It was one I knew I very well may not keep.
On October 1st, desperate for answers and looking for any way out, I remembered the link I saw on my cousins Facebook. She knew them personally and I trust her judgement completely out of anyone I know, so if she vouched for them, I knew I would like them. I emailed them praying that they would respond before my dreaded appointment the next morning. When it turned 9pm, I started losing hope that they would even respond at all, let alone be interested in me and my child.
But then they did respond and we talked on the phone that evening. They told me everything that I needed to hear and gave me the hope that it was possible. Little did they know that the saved both of our lives that night. For I surely wouldn't have been able to live with myself if my child couldn't live either.
How are you doing now?
