When Jessi* became pregnant, her boyfriend put pressure on her to have an abortion. She came to our clinic not knowing what to do. Our staff talked with her about different options and gave her several resources. When Jessi left, she refused the prenatal vitamins and information packet.

But she did come back with her boyfriend for the free ultrasound. When they arrived, they told us they had decided to have an abortion. But after the ultrasound, she marked “undecided” on the exit survey.

Two days later, she returned alone. She requested the prenatal vitamins and told us, “Your patient advocate was amazing. She prayed for me. Since the ultrasound, I’ve been having nightmares about abortion. I kept staring at the packet of resources you gave me and realized that it wasn’t impossible to have the baby. After all, I was not alone. I can do this.”

She continued, “God has a plan, and I’m letting Him take the wheel. I’ve been praying, and He opened my eyes. I’m keeping this baby.”

Jessi has received prenatal care through our Initial Pregnancy Care services and is interested in joining the parenting coaching team. Because of your ministry partnership Jessi now knows that she is not alone in her pregnancy.
