Grace's Story
Grace moved to Texas five years ago to be near her boyfriend, leaving her family behind—and not happy—in the Midwest. She works in the service industry and doesn’t have any local friends except work colleagues. When she found out she was pregnant, her boyfriend told her she needed an abortion.
​
She came to us scared and unaware of the laws in Texas. She didn’t know how far along she was, but she knew she did want an abortion. She spoke first with a counselor, who gave her information about her options, pregnancy, the support we can offer, and more. She then connected with one of our life coaches, with whom she could speak openly without judgment.
​
We performed an ultrasound, and she left with many resources and much encouragement. After a few weeks, she returned for a second visit to meet with an adoption agency and to see the baby again. During this ultrasound, she opened up about the father of her baby. She said it hurts her to hear the things he says about the baby. She couldn't understand how he hated the baby so much, but she still loved him.
​
During this visit, she was able to see more of the baby, and she really connected with all the little movements she could see. How could she harm someone so innocent? This was when she decided that she was going to parent and not continue with the abortion. She also decided to reach out to her mother. She had asked God to show her a sign, if that was the right thing to do, and ended up having a dream about it. In that dream, she was having a little girl! Finally, during that visit, we connected her to our Bridge to Life location, where she knew she could find every resource she would need to thrive as a parent.
Grace returned for a third ultrasound a little while later, and the baby was showing off. She even showed her mom her beautiful smile and stuck out her tongue. Grace laughed and cried happy tears that there was so much hope for this baby and for her.
Steph's Story
Steph, a very young client, came to us homeless, suffering abuse, and pregnant. She was considering abortion but, thankfully, was referred to us.
She spent time talking with our team and learning about all our free services available to help her. She discovered that we can help with her baby, her pregnancy, and the other obstacles she’s facing in life. She learned that she has a choice to parent or place her baby for adoption. She realized that we have real solutions to offer.
At this point, Steph was grateful but still wavering and unsure. Then, she received an ultrasound. Praise the Lord, Steph chose to place her baby for adoption after seeing him on that screen! We were able to get her set up with a local adoption agency and help her out with many other resources later in her pregnancy.
She returned for another ultrasound, and her baby boy was very photogenic, showing off to Mom and Grandma. We glorify God for this life, and Steph wants everyone to know how grateful she is for our free services, especially for the ultrasound that saved her baby boy!​​​

Laura's Story
Laura came to us distraught after attempting an abortion. She suffers from anxiety, and some depression, and she didn’t think there was any way she could be a mother. When she found abortion pills online, that seemed to be the right solution.
Laura took the first pill, the one that would end the life of her baby, but immediately regretted her decision.
Thankfully, she contacted the Abortion Pill Reversal Hotline and was connected with us. She was deeply relieved that there was hope.
At her initial appointment with us, we performed an ultrasound as a required part of the reversal process. When Laura saw her baby for the first time, she was overwhelmed by a wave of emotions. Seeing her little one, and hearing her baby's heartbeat made everything real. She said all the small things seemed less significant, and only her baby's life mattered.
Thanks be to God, the process was successful, and her baby’s life was spared. After this, Laura finally told her mom about the baby, and we are very happy to report she has her mother’s full support. Laura is now excited to be a mother herself, and she and the baby’s father are very happy with their new little family!
