When Brittany and her fiancé discovered they were expecting, fear and uncertainty set in. They had dreamed of having children together — just not yet.
On top of their own worries, Brittany felt anxious about telling her parents, afraid of their disappointment. But during a heartfelt conversation with one of our Eastside staff members, they discussed how sharing her heart with her family could ease her burden and replace fear with strength.
Before she left, Brittany learned about our Motherhood program, which provides mentorship and resources for first-time moms. She walked out of her appointment with renewed hope, feeling supported instead of overwhelmed.
A few weeks later, Brittany returned to our Eastside location for her ultrasound — this time, with her mom by her side. As the scan began, her mother’s excitement was immediate. She couldn’t contain her joy at becoming a grandmother!
Though Brittany was still battling morning sickness, the love and encouragement from her mom created a beautiful moment of connection. And as Brittany saw her baby on the screen for the first time, fear gave way to joy and confidence.
Praise Jesus! Fear and shame lost their hold. Brittany’s decision to share her heart not only strengthened her relationship with her mom but also gave her the support she needed to embrace this new season of life.
And because of your support — making these no-cost ultrasounds and Motherhood coaching possible — Brittany didn’t face this journey alone.
Because of you … Brittany and her fiancé made the courageous decision to choose life for their baby.
Because of you … light overtook the darkness!
