“There’s No Way I Can Parent Another Child Alone.”
Adrienne was in turmoil. She never expected her husband to divorce her when she was about to deliver their first child.
And she never expected to turn to another man so quickly. Now she was pregnant with her second child—to a man she didn’t love.
Abortion loomed large.
Adrienne came to us riddled with hurt—betrayed by her ex-husband, angry at God, and overwhelmed by the thought of raising two young children alone.
She received an ultrasound from us and then seemed to disappear for a while. Our follow-up attempts fell flat.
Finally, a few weeks later, we reached her by phone. Her demeanor was calm. Resolute. She said, “The minute I saw my baby on the ultrasound monitor, I fell in love. I am going to have this baby, and I want to attend your prenatal classes.”
When Adrienne saw her baby, her heart melted as God describes in Isaiah 49 –
“Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands.”
Since coming to Align, Adrienne knows she’s not alone. She’ll continue to get support through prenatal classes, and her baby has a chance to grow into God’s wonderful purposes.
Thank you for supporting Adrienne and others like her. Your gift today will help us raise $55,000 to cover the cost of ultrasound appointments for the rest of 2024. And you’ll make it possible for more women like Adrienne to align with God, discover God’s peace, and make life-giving choices.
In the powerful, life-saving name of Jesus,
