Elizabeth's Story

I’ve grown to trust Life Forward over several years of receiving help with my other pregnancies.  When I got pregnant again, I knew they would help me.  But, this pregnancy came at a very difficult time in my life.  I felt trapped in a destructive relationship with my boyfriend.  I planned to have an abortion. 

After Hannah completed my ultrasound, I told her what was happening in my life and how I was feeling. She listened to me and was so kind. She helped me to see that abortion wasn’t my only option. After receiving information about adoption, I seriously considered this for my baby. 

Hannah kept in contact with me during my pregnancy. As time went by, I felt like I gained more confidence and distanced myself from my boyfriend.  Eventually, I chose to keep my baby. I even participated in Life Forward’s parenting classes which really helped me.

This past year has been rough for me. I don’t think I would be where I am or getting ready to welcome my new baby into the world without the help of Life Forward. I’m thankful for their support.
