I was 20 years old and going out with a guy I thought cared about me. I had sex with him 1 time and I felt it right afterwards that I conceived. I never felt that ever in my life before or afterwards. I did get pregnant as I had felt and when I went to meet him and tell him about the pregnancy, he looked at me in the eye and happily said he was moving to another State and wanted nothing to do …

I was 16. I was pregnant with my tennis coach’s child. In my 16 year old mind, I had no other option but to have an abortion. No one talks about the grief you feel over the death of your unborn child, even when you facilitated it. I met Jesus a year later. Though I know I’m forgiven, that grief and shame remain.

We had planned to marry, he got me a ring, we agreed I would somehow finish school & it was gonna be hard. But we loved each other. My mom was so angry. She said I would never see him or talk to him again. …

I am 23 years old and just recently had took a trip from California to Florida last September. I went with my mother and sister to a emotional healing retreat because two months before I was struggling with a drug abuse disorder and mental problems and overdosed. During this retreat I suspected I was pregnant because my period was late and I had extreme fatigue and cramping. I was worried about what I was going to tell my boyfriend and what my younger sister was …
