Sophia* is 20. Her boyfriend moved in about six months ago. Even though they were using birth control, she recently discovered she was pregnant. “This is definitely not in our plans,” she shared with the CompassCare nurse. “We can’t afford a baby right now. Life is busy enough with two jobs.”
Together, they came to the clean and convenient CompassCare office. The ultrasound confirmed a ten-week-old baby with a strong heartbeat. As the nurse described the baby’s stage of development, the father of the baby exclaimed, “You mean, next week this baby will have fingerprints?”
“There’s a baby growing inside me?! Yes, I want to be a mom!”
Hearing that heartbeat changed everything for this young couple. Just minutes before, Sophia indicated that she was determined to go to the abortionist the very next day. Now: “There’s a baby growing inside me?! Yes, I want to be a mom!”
The nurse shared the hope of the Gospel and that, together, these new parents could find purpose and meaning, including their child. They eagerly prayed to commit their lives to Jesus. They were connected with a MotherCare Mentor who will get them plugged into a local church to help them grow spiritually.
As they left, they both hugged the nurse. “Thank you! We’re going to be parents!”
Prayerfully,
The CompassCare Team
