A Thankful Woman Chooses Life
By Jan DeFily, R.D.M.S.
A young woman and her two-year old son came into our Schaumburg location. The little boy was very polite and you could tell he was very well cared for. His mom had just moved back here from another state and was living with a friend.
Upon returning to IL, she got together again with her old boyfriend and she became pregnant. She wasn’t sure what she was going to do. Not only was she now unexpectedly pregnant, but she had also learned her boyfriend got married after they got back together and then, a few weeks later, had been shot and killed. We might roll our eyes if we were watching this scene unfold in a movie, but this was a real woman’s actual situation, and it was heartbreaking. Needless to say, she was very upset and confused, and experiencing a lot of mixed emotions about his death, marriage and her pregnancy.
We talked for quite a while and performed an ultrasound. The ultrasound found an 8-week, 1-day old baby with a good heartbeat. I gave her prenatal vitamins and literature on healthy pregnancy and fetal development. And because she had a history of abortion, I told her about our Surrendering the Secret Bible study.
She just wasn’t sure what she wanted to do with her unborn baby so we carefully went over her options. Then, with her permission, we talked about her faith. She stated she was raised in a Christian home. I encouraged her to seek the Lord and ask Him to help her in her decision-making. I asked her if I could pray with her and she accepted. Before leaving, she thanked me and expressed that she felt much better.
As time passed, I sent her several text messages that all went unanswered. When at last I finally heard from her, she stated she was keeping the baby and thanked me for my help.
