My Story

On July 25, 2008 I delivered my 8.5 ounce, 18 week gestation son into this world. Noah James may not have been alive, but he was still my son and I had great love for him. I learned approximately 2 weeks before that I did not have any amniotic fluid and that his chances of survival were slim. At that time, I was given the option of abortion, and to my suprise and upset, I actually considered it. Then, God spoke to me and made me realize what I was actually considering. What right did I, or any medical professional have to predict a definite future? Sure, statistics are what they are, but I believe in miracles and God's will. I dedided to continue with the pregnancy when 2 weeks later we discovered that we no longer had a heartbeat. I prepared myself for a long and hard journey, and with God's grace we got through it. From that point on I kept telling myself that everything happens for a reason and I knew that this had something good to come out of it. In the course of the 3 years since I had him I have helped others in similar situations cope with their loss through my own experiences and life lessons. Recently, I have felt compelled to do more, and that's when things started to fall into place and God started to give his signs. As I was cleaning one day, I came across Noah's pictures and memorabilia and I felt a deep desire to use him as an example. The next week I was sitting in church and my priest was giving a homily about Pro Life and abortion, as it was that time of year. That got me wanting to volunteer and do more. A few days later, I received a flier in the mail about doing more and getting involved and that's when I knew that 3 signs were enough, it was just something I had to do. If you scroll down this blog you will see pictures of Noah at 18 weeks gestation. This is a legal abortion age in the United States- I know, I had the option to do it! Boy, am I ever glad I didn't! Please, if you or anyone you know is contemplating abortion, look at these pictures and then see if you can honestly tell yourself that you are not killing a life. Had I aborted Noah, those arms would have been totally separated from that body to be stuffed into a jar. I just can't imagine my baby being severed and stuffed into a jar, can you? There are other options out there and every child deserves a chance at life. Just imagine if your parents decided to abort you and all of the great things in life you would have missed out on. Please pass this site on to any of your friends and family you know that may need this information. It is very near and dear to my heart and my full intentions are to help those in need- mothers and unborn children. Thank you.
