LARA

When Lara first came to Caring Network, she was deeply distressed by the decision between parenting or aborting her baby (she would not consider adoption). Several issues were weighing heavily and preventing her from embracing parenthood: her age, a lack of support from her family and the baby’s father, and her ability to finish her education. She said that she loved kids and teared up while talking about the joy she anticipated would come with motherhood. Her decision became clear when she saw her baby moving on the ultrasound screen; she declined the abortion education materials that were offered to her and chose life for her baby instead! Thank you for helping Lara experience her child through ultrasound – and for equipping her to choose life!
