Whenever girls get into trouble and are faced with tough choices I am always grateful that we live in a world where they have safe choices, where they can make their minds up and take actions over their body.
They can choose to end the future life growing in them if they want to, in a safe environment that will not end their own life and will virtually ensure their safety. I respect a society that allows them that luxury. I really do.
But I am Pro-life because that heart beat will and does grow into a human being who has feelings.
Who has hopes.
Who has dreams.
Who can be somebody.
My mom was a LITTLE girl when I was born and every single year on my birthday I like to stop and remember that she had been given the choice to have a back alley abortion and I almost wasn't.
And I am so grateful that my Mother is Pro-life but I really respect your choices.
Now that you've meet me, maybe just maybe, you'll think long and hard about having that baby and giving it up for adoption instead.
I promise you that baby wants to live (I did) and somewhere out there are parents dying to raise it (Charley and I want your unborn baby.)
Doesn't God have such a sense a humor?
Happy birthday to me, thank you Mom for keeping me. Thank you too for spending this one with in Washington!!

Happy Birthday Christina!
ReplyDeleteThough I was given the option of abortion, it was given prior to my Mother knowing how far along I was before telling her that I was pregnant. I knew that by waiting, no one could force me into something I did not want to do.
So you see sweetie, I protected you with all my might long before you were born. And I will continue to protect you with all my might until I take my last breath.
You have been a joy in my life like nothing else and I treasure you more than life itself. I'm so excited that I get to share this special day with you.
Thank you God for ensuring that I am here with my baby girl who incidentally is now only 6 months younger than I.
Happy Birthday Dear Daughter...
Happy Birthday!
Love forever,
Mom
As an adopted child, born of an adulterous relationship, I can vouch for every child that anyone might be thinking of aborting - we do want to live.

Oh HAPPY BIRTDAY to YOU!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky you are to have a mom that loves you and is there to spend your special day with you. :O)
I made the same choice I chose to keep my son, I was 16.
Remember not all mothers are as loving or able to love as yours so for some children, if they are not given up for adoption, life with a cold and distant mom is ruff and can damage.
Again, a very happy day to you, enjoy!

Happy Birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteI am thankful too...TJ

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, girlfriend!!
ReplyDeleteEverybody needs at least one day when they can celebratecelebratecelebrate just being themselves. Have LOADS of fun!!
Happy Birthday, Christina! Surely, your birth sounds like some sort of miracle: your mom was just a baby when she had you! That's a miracle of biblical proportions! Revel in your special day.
ReplyDeleteHppy Bday kiddo. I feel the same way about said choise, but with a bit of distain. Unfortunately. The Mrs and I have talked about Adoption on multiple occasions.
ReplyDeleteThis post is extra special to me as I was just given the sonogram of my unmarried daughter's baby. They are 80% certain it is a boy. Things will be tough for her, but she and the baby will make it because they are surrounded by love as you are =)!! Christina, I am so happy you were born and you are you!!!! Happy Birthday, honey!!!!! Love, Val xox

Happy Birthday to two of the most beautiful women I have ever had the pleasure of "meeting"...
ReplyDeleteA wonderful beautiful moment was forged that day...Thank you for sharing yourselves with us!
Happy belated birthday Christina! Sorry I missed your big day! I just returned from Las Vegas and popped in to say HI... I still write your birthday on my calendar every year when I transfer from year to the next year...
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful day and enjoyed celebrating it with your Mom and family.
I agree 110% and support the choice to chose.... but damn glad you and I were kept. Being adopted makes you think twice about being pro-choice but I feel that every woman should have a safe choice...
Happy Birthday!!!!
XOXO
Hi Christina and thanks! You know I have never made up my mind on this... I lost one child and it was horrible ... the two I had I embraced and kept and love... I believe everyone has a reason and missions for being here. But also an alcoholic or an addicted mom may have trouble raising a child. I am against abortion if the baby seems to be handicapped, because the cells fix themselves later, and very often. I almost died when giving birth to my daughter because of a blood problem I have. And decided not to. Two ten-pounders... they are beautiful. I would never have thought of aborting but if someone else feels she MUST, then maybe it is true...
ReplyDeleteI had a dream of you and there was a message in it. I wrote about it.
Hugs dear! You are made in gold...

I mean not to die... sorry... it was not clear...
