Pregnancy and Adoption Resources

Just wondering…

If Jesus, the Christ, died on Calvary for “the sins of the whole world,” as the Bible tells us. And, if that amazing death and it’s life-giving awe applies to every man that will ever be born. And, if He knows all about each and every one of us before we are born (Psalms 139).

Then…He died for the unborn child.

Now…if the even unborn child is worthy of the death of the Jesus…do you suppose that life just might be priceless…and worthy of life?

Just wondering…

The title isn’t original–Edgar Allan Poe made it famous in 1843.Candy’s (name changed)  statement reminded me of Poe’s title. For several weeks she blocked the reality and the end result of her upcoming abortion-choice. Just like the narrator in Poe’s story, she claimed sanity. Candy’s sanity wasn’t so much in question as was her spiritual state. She said it…”I was denying that the ‘mass of tissue” in me was a human life.”

Then there was the “dumb” requirement.Candy had to endure a sonogram before getting rid of the problem. “Just a quick procedure and then we’ll proceed” the abortion nurse told her.

The beating heart…the part of the “mass of tissue” that was pulsing…regularly…strong…in tune with it’s Creator. it was the telltale heart. Then it was “the appendage.” Yes, the little part of the “mass of tissue” that said “It’s a boy!”

“You mean…I’ll be killing my son?” Candy asked in disbelief. Disbelief that she almost committed an act as inglorious as the narrator’s in Poe’s short story. In Poe’s story, the heart beats under the floorboards of the house until the narrator goes mad.

In Candy’s story, the narrator (Candy) realizes the power of the heart before she commits the tragic act of abortion. And then…Candy’s next series of choices…tell my parents…endure the barrage of hurtful words…make an adoption plan (adoption is a loving choice…a choice that both you and your child can live with)…meeting the adoptive parents…giving birth…crying…laughing…filled with joy…crying.

The telltale heart is still beating. It beats in the chest of a healthy little boy who was/is loved by two sets of parents…a birthparent set and an adoptive parent set. He is loved and he will love. His is the telltale heart in this story.

Candy is the hero!

P.S. Thinking of what to do tonight? Abortion in Mississippi is not the answer that will bring peace. Adoption in Mississippi or anywhere in America will bring peace. Did you know that only the Prince of Peace can bring Peace? That’s another story. 800-264-2229 - BIRTHMOTHER HOTLINE.

She called in the afternoon…just a normal call. “Can you help me get an abortion?” was the question. I shared with her the option of adoption. Her response? “I could never give my baby away to someone else…that would be cruel.”

What was I hearing? A loving adoptive family and a permanent home…cruel? Ending a child’s life…caring?

The truth, based on research, is that children raised in two parent adoptive homes have better outcomes than any other group of children, other than those raised by their biological parents in intact two parent homes.

Is adoption a cruel act or a self-less act? Is adoption an act of love and caring? If I could reach the baby of that birthmother who called adoption cruel….I wonder…what would he say?

At New Beginnings we call them “good birthmothers.” No, they aren’t all choosing adoption. However, the “good” ones have one common thread. All of them are more concerned about the welfare of the infant’s life within them…both prior to birth and after birth. They care!

Hurrah! We just found out the Nepalese orphanages are starting to send children’s profiles to be matched with New Beginning’s families by the Nepal Ministry which handles adoptions in Nepal.  This is a really exciting time as we work to give these children a better life!

Also!  New Beginnings has recently confirmed Michael Reagan as the keynote speaker for this year’s Celebration of Adoption on October 20th, 2009. Michael is a popular author and radio/ tv host who is the adopted son of Ronald Reagan!

Well…who are we?

Female, 24, single. Male, 25, single. Male, 24, single. Female, 52, married. Male, 52, married (to the 52 year old female who happens to be six months older…just for the record).

Why do we write?

Because we believe that adoption into loving Christian families offers the best opportunity for children to experience successful outcomes in life. We come from a broad range of Christian denominations, but believe the facts are in…life begins at conception and it is not a matter of religious faith…it’s a matter of fact.

If life begins at conception, then parenting or adoption are the only two options for any individual who believes that human life is only God’s for the taking. Accurate adoption information may be hard to come by, if you avoid asking the professionals. So…ask the professionals!
