Sam’s Story

Sam’s Story: A Steady Presence 

Hope and Sam came to Life Forward for an ultrasound and were excited about their pregnancy. 

During the appointment, Hope was asked about her previous pregnancies. She shared that she made the incredibly brave and difficult decision to place three of her children for adoption. “It was very hard,” she said, “but it was good.”  

Now 31, Hope feels more confident. More equipped. And a big part of that is because of Sam. 

Having a supportive father in the picture gave Hope confidence to step into motherhood. She said she feels supported, not just emotionally, but practically. She knows she isn’t alone. 

At Life Forward, we celebrate fathers like Sam! Because when a father shows up, believes in his family, and brings calm, consistent care, it changes everything. For a mother. For a child. And for the next chapter they’ll walk into together.
