The day - I'll never forget it. May 8, 1982. I didn't want to have an abortion. The father had to take me to the clinic twice. I walked out the first time. The second time I went through with it. It was at that moment that I no longer knew who I was. I cried for 20 years and fell away from my faith. My child would be 26 today.
In 2001 I found Rachel's Vineyard (www.rachelsvineyard.org) (non-denominational) and began my healing journey. I have helped others through RV retreats and I have reached out to others on line. I am always available when the local crisis pregnancy center needs someone to talk to anyone who is considering abortion and they just need to talk and get the truth.
I just don't want anyone to cry as hard as this pain can make you cry. We can never undo what has been done. But God is forgiving and full of mercy. There is hope. I pray that each of you who visit this site will allow others who know the pain to help you begin your healing process.
