A Letter to the Moms Waiting to Adopt This Christmas Season — “Please Don’t Lose Hope.”

For our family, this Christmas season will be our most memorable. It is our first Christmas as a family of three. Our home is overflowing with love, magic, and new beginnings. This year we get to celebrate Christmas with our son.

We spent hours Christmas shopping (and lets be honest, baby B is not even gonna know what’s going on this year!) and have dreamt of the traditions that will make the season full of magic. We had no idea just how emotional this Christmas would be for our family. This is a dream I wasn’t sure would ever come true. But, one thing I can say for sure?

I would go through all of the heartache and sadness again to get to my son.

To all of you who have babies growing in your hearts right now, I promise you, this holiday season will soon be filled with love, joy, and overwhelming thankfulness.

Right now, I know your hearts are dreading spending another holiday without your child. I know your hearts ache as you watch families celebrate the magic of Christmas with little ones. I know you dream of the day when you will get to hang up that stocking that says, “Baby’s First Christmas.” I know you can’t wait for the day when you get to wrap gifts to put under the tree for your most treasured gift.

Please don’t lose hope.

Last year, I was walking with you. I remember being curled up by our fireplace holding tightly to the book I had bought for a baby I had hoped to be holding in my arms.

I remember each tear that fell down my face.

I remember each silent prayer I whispered to God, begging Him to give me strength.

You’re. Not. Alone. Please don’t give up hope. Please don’t lose your faith.

This season, I’m praying for your hearts to be full of hope for what is to come. It is worth the wait. It is worth every single tear. It is worth every silent prayer. Please know you are in my heart this season.

Love,
Amy

DEAR READER

We hope this article enlightened and inspired you to stand up for life.

Despite the overturning of Roe v. Wade, abortions are still prevalent in our nation. As a response to the overturning, the media: from the news to entertainment sources to even political figures and celebrities, have pushed abortion as an ongoing agenda, shaping the way this generation thinks and acts. Misinformation is being spread every day, and people are sadly believing the lies.

Our articles and stories aim to tell one thing: the truth.

We know that it is both a blessing and a challenge to understand the reality of abortion, because knowledge incites belief, and belief incites action. But we’re in this together. We believe that we can make abortion unthinkable.

With your support, we look forward to a future where young women are empowered to fight for their own rights: a right to bring life into the world, to be fearless leaders, to be examples of hope, strength, and undeterred resilience. We look forward to a future where life can happen.

If this article strengthened your belief to reach women everywhere with the truth and to let life happen, then please consider helping us extend our reach by making a gift right now. Your gift of just $10 or $20 helps our mission to create a story of hope and empowerment for every woman facing an unplanned pregnancy.

We aim to create a culture that views “pro-life” as equivalent to having empathy and compassion, providing holistic care (before and beyond pregnancy) and education, and most importantly, choosing to speak and act in love. We are pro-life, pro-love, pro-woman, pro-solution.

Don’t just be part of the movement, be part of the solution, and give today.
