I got pregnant at 16 and the world was really against me, everyone including my doctor tried to get me to have an abortion- even relatives- they all constantly pressured me and offered to pay and to send me away so no one would know. I felt so scared and alone, I loved my baby even before she was born but I wanted her to have so much. The dad wasn't around, my family was not supportive, I had no car, was just beginning my junior year in high school, had no job. Also, my family would say I can't be a good Mom or raise a child when I was a child myself. They were so ashamed that a "good christian" family could have a pregnant daughter. I decided just then I was going to prove them wrong- that I could be a good Mom! I didn't know how I would make it and give this baby all she deserved but I was determined to do all I could to do just that. I got a job, a old junky car, that ran at least. I read "all" the parenting books and books on pregnancy- knowledge is power! I repented and got right with God, I held my head up high and kept witnessing to other's at school. I graduated with my class too as did her dad- he was just starting his sophmore year in high school at that time. I had my beautiful daughter and kept her and she is now 19 and full of love- a humanitarian actually- wants to save the world! She has been the easiest child to raise- a blessing all the way! I could never image my life w/out her!!! The father actually left me until I was 8 months along and we ended up marrying and we had another child, a son and were married 7 years, until he had an affair and left. I know that your situation is very different then mine was and I am not trying to compare an any way because I can't imagine what you are going thru. But I just wanted to share how we can overcome any circumstance that we are presented. Also, I do know that God allows us to get pregnant for a reason- has a plan for that childs life and for our life as a Mom. I got pregnant both times using protection and both my kids are the light of my life! Hope this helps. Much love, Kim |
