The Second Stop

The options on the table are few for young Beth Johnson*.  How many 13 year old mothers do you know? Young Beth was exploring her options at a local abortion clinic when her mother called LifeHouse asking for help. We interviewed them the same afternoon. Beth has chosen adoption and is now a resident of LifeHouse.

Beth told one of our house parents during the interview “I really don’t want to consider abortion, but I know I’m not ready to be a parent.  Abortion is simply the only remaining option.” Because of you, LifeHouse was here to give her another option. Instead of a statistic, that baby will now be a precious and wonderful gift to a couple desiring a family and we will be able to positively invest in Beth’s life. Beth is now the youngest member of the LifeHouse family. We want to champion Beth and her decision to choose Life.
