SPOILER ALERT:<\/strong><\/span> This post contains information about certain plot elements of the movie, “Lifemark.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Yesterday I went to the movie theater to watch “Lifemark,” starring Kirk Cameron, with my husband and oldest son. It\u2019s a beautiful movie, depicting a true adoption story. I encourage everyone to see the film, but as I watched it, my heart was torn in two.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like the birth mother in the movie, I was a teenager when I discovered I was pregnant. Like her, I felt hopeless and ended up at the abortion clinic. Like her, I put on the dingy white gown and laid on the table as the doctor rolled the stool close to me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But unlike her, I stayed on the table. <\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike her, I didn\u2019t have the courage to get up. <\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike her, I let the abortionist rip my baby from womb.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve spent a lot of time over the years thinking about my baby, wondering what life would have been like if I had chosen to keep her, but for some reason I\u2019ve never really thought about what life would be like if I had chosen adoption. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Lifemark” caused a flood of thoughts and emotions to wash over me as I considered how my baby could have been a blessing to so many others.<\/span><\/p>\n
