Great Links: Awesome Adoption Story!

Through my wife’s work with pregnant women, I was exposed to two amazing women this year, both of whom lost their babies. One of them is healing thorough sharing. She developed the youtube.com video linked under “Awesome Adoption Story!” Check it out and share it.

In 2003, there were nearly 1.3 million abortions in the US. In 2004, there were nearly 1.5 million live births to unmarried women. Almost all of the women were between 15 and 29. Of the 72.3 million children living in the US in 2004, 1.6 million had been adopted. Adoption is a wonderful, loving, underused option. It’s an option that must be seriously considered as part of family planning and when reacting to the special circumstances the result from unplanned pregnancy.
