UNEXPECTED; TRAUMA PREGNANCY OPTION
Meet Lili
Lili grew up with her twin sister and family on a farm in rural Alabama. At age 17 she moved out of her house and started living on her own. At age 20 her life was changed when she found out she was pregnant.
When I first found out I was pregnant, the first thing I did was look up abortion clinics.
As a single woman, she struggled with the thought of having a baby. Most of the places she called wouldn’t allow her to have an abortion past 10 weeks and she was right on that line but, she finally found one that would. After seeing a glimpse of her sonogram, she discovered that she was actually pregnant with twins.
"After considering my options I got connected to a counselor through the adoption agency."

“If there’s one thing I could tell an expectant mom its to have hope and take it day by day – you have to decide what’s best for you and the baby.”
