Crossroads Pregnancy Center
I found out I was pregnant.
It was by far the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. I didn't even love the father. When I found out it felt like someone had sucked all the air out of me. I started blaming everyone else and started hating this "thing" inside of me. I spent countless days and nights sobbing, lying on my bathroom floor trying to think of ways I could end this whole thing. I had never felt more alone than I did then. I started hating the father and treating him terribly. I felt like no one cared how I was feeling or what I wanted. I kept thinking, "How can I possibly love this child when every time I look at it I am reminded of him?" So I decided I wanted an abortion. I never thought I could do such a thing, but at the time it seemed like the only way I could be happy again.
That's when I went to Crossroads.
Everyone was so supportive. They assured me and gave me hope. I am thankful to them for their love and kindness toward me. I know if they hadn't been there to show me the beauty of life that my daughter, Maggie, wouldn't be with me now. She truly is a blessing. I don't know what life would be like without her and I never want to find out. She has changed my life in such a wonderful way. She is so beautiful and healthy. Every time I look at her I fall more in love with her.
I encourage you to call Crossroads because they care about you just like they cared about me. If you're scared and confused like I was, please don't make a decision before talking to them first.
Sincerely,
Kerri
