Thank you for letting me be born.

How being adopted has made me pro-life.

I’m sure it wasn’t easy. Being pregnant, with no husband, already having 3 children to feed. I know that not everybody agreed with her decision. But 50 years ago, one woman decided to not only give birth, but to give up her daughter for adoption. And I’m so grateful.

I don’t even know when it first hit me. I was so indoctrinated by the liberal media that abortion was about a “woman’s right to choose” that I didn’t even see the irony. But that “right” could have been the end of my existence.

It really hit me a couple of years ago, after watching the videos of Planned Parenthood employees casually discussing their donations for “medical research,” just how lucky I was not to have been chopped up and sold off for spare parts.

We are told so many lies about abortion. That it’s “medically necessary.” That it’s just “a clump of cells. That it’s just like having an appendectomy or tumor removal. That nobody regrets it. That there’s really just no choice because nobody wants those babies anyway.

I had this conversation a little over a week ago with a liberal friend. Sure, she knew there were people who wanted to adopt, but they only want healthy white babies.

That is absolutely not true. I know plenty of people who have adopted a baby from China. I have one friend who adopted a little girl from Mexico and another from Guatemala. My pastor and his wife (who have 3 biological children of their own) adopted a little girl from Ethiopia who is HIV positive. There are even those who adopt children with Down Syndrome.

So much for healthy white babies.

I wasn’t able to join today’s march in Washington. But I’m so grateful for all of those who are there. God bless you. I did want to take time today, just to say on behalf of myself and millions of others:

Thank you for letting me live.
