Why do only 1% of women in the U.S. who are in an unplanned or crisis pregnancy consider adoption rather than parenting or abortion?
How can we as Christians understand the struggles these women face with acceptance or judgement – especially from those in the Church?
What if the Church as the FIRST place a women with an unplanned pregnancy ran to – instead of running away?
The United States leads the Western world in unplanned pregnancy. We lead in teen pregnancy, and we lead in single-parent households. We should be doing so much better to care for both the young women of our society and the next generation.
The statistics hit you over the head and says this is an actual problem and one that we can actually help to solve.
As adoptive parents & Christians, Terri Marcroft and I set out to write the book called Pro-Family, Pro-Adoption: A Christian’s Guide to Unplanned Pregnancy Options to be a guide, a wake-up call, and an information resource. It is about how we can all do better to support the women around us who are going through or will go through an unplanned pregnancy.
Pro-Family, Pro-Adoption is all about how we can show women there is a loving, life-giving choice in adoption. It is about showing how open adoption is something beautiful. It is about how we can show our love and support to women in crisis pregnancy.
Listen as Terri and I share what is included in the book, why it is worth your time to get it, read it, and share it.
