Read Annie* and her boyfriend's incredible story below.

-------

Annie was out of choices.

She was a senior in high school when her parents found out she was pregnant. They made an appointment for Annie to have an abortion.

“What choice do I have?” Annie wondered. “My parents say they cannot afford to take care of a baby. I can’t do it on my own.”

End of story . . . almost.

Annie’s boyfriend did not want her to go through with the abortion. He called Care Net’s Pregnancy Decision Line (PDL) to find out what he could do. Our pregnancy decision coach counseled the young man about realistic options and helped him develop a plan to talk to Annie and her parents.

Equipped with information, the brave father sat down with Annie’s parents. In the end, they chose life for the baby!

Your generous support helped empower the frightened young parents and save the life of the child. But there are so many more who depend on your gifts to empower them to CHOOSE LIFE.
