Lucia* was inspired to choose life for her daughter after receiving loving support from staff at her local pregnancy help center. Options United connected her to the center when she called the hotline. Initially, panic and uncertainty fogged her mind. Today, she explains the peace and happiness she felt and continues to feel since the birth of her baby.
At the center she received more than confirmation of pregnancy. Each problem that caused worry was addressed and solutions were presented. The holistic approach found at this particular center is not uncommon at centers across the country.
Lucia* talks of the moment she decided to continue her pregnancy.
“I came to my senses and realized that my baby’s life and mine are equally important.”
The care she received was not only focused on the value and uniqueness of her baby’s life but also her own. Becoming a mother, is a cherished and beautiful experience but it is also daunting. The more supported a mother feels the more this fear is mitigated so she can focus on what truly matters.
