Having been raised Christian, she had morals that she wanted to stay true to, but she admits letting them slip a bit with the desire to fit in at school. By the time she would graduate, she would be nine months pregnant. But her story isn&#8217;t one anyone was expecting.<\/p>\n<p>As a senior, Lauran fell for a sweet guy who showed her a great amount of respect. She explained to her new boyfriend that she was waiting to have sex and he told her he was fine with that and seemed completely understanding of her wishes. Her parents didn&#8217;t want her dating him, but she went and saw him anyway.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cA week later we were hanging out,\u201d she explains, \u201cWe were playing basketball. We went in the garage for a quick drink and that\u2019s when he decided that he didn&#8217;t care. He wanted to have sex and I begged and pleaded with him but he forced me into this closet and forced me to have sex with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Devastated, Lauran went home immediately but didn&#8217;t tell anyone about what had happened out of fear. Her family had experiences with men who were physically abusive and that history was in the back of her mind, plus her parents had told her not to date the boy. So she kept the rape a secret.<\/p>\n<p>A month went by. Lauran continued to see her boyfriend and endure the abuse. She was worried about what people would think or say if she were to break up with the guy she said she loved, a boy she defied her parents to be with. But then Lauran began feeling ill and a bit off. She took a pregnancy test and the results were what she feared. She was pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>She told her sisters about the pregnancy and then one day, she waited for them to get home before they sat down to tell their parents, first their mother and then their father. But Lauran still left out the detail that she had been raped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy dad said, \u2018You\u2019re going to have an abortion if you really are pregnant,\u2019\u201d explains Lauran, \u201cI don\u2019t remember ever crying so hard in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lauran refused to abort her child. She didn&#8217;t think abortion was right and knew it wasn&#8217;t the answer to her problems. She kept the secret of having been raped and she and her father barely spoke. Her parents decided that Lauran should place the child up for adoption, and that was the plan when she went for her first ultrasound at 12 weeks. There was even a couple that wanted to adopt the baby. But when she was leaving the pregnancy center after her ultrasound, the volunteers handed a carnation to her along with the words of Jeremiah 29:11:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFor I know the plans I have for you,&#8221; declares the LORD, &#8220;plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Lauran knew that this was a sign from God; He was speaking to her. She made up her mind then and there that she would keep her baby. She didn&#8217;t know how she would do it, but she was determined and she knew that was what God\u2019s plan was for her.<\/p>\n<p>Lauran finally told her parents what had been happening to her and that the sex wasn&#8217;t consensual. They were a lot more understanding and her father began to be more supportive, but he still struggled to accept the situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was around this time that I turned around and gave my life over to the Lord,\u201d says Lauran, \u201cI wasn&#8217;t living for the Lord like I thought I was. I wasn&#8217;t going to get through anything without the Lord on my side. I broke things off with the guy and I continued on with school because I knew I had to finish. But then things got bad at school. He hit me with a door. He threw food at me. He threw a ball at me. I almost got pulled out of school because every few days we were in the principal\u2019s office, or the nurse\u2019s office, or the guidance counselor\u2019s office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the conflicts, Lauran persevered, graduating from high school and giving birth to her daughter Isabella about 1 \u00bd weeks after.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Isabella is 5 years old and Lauran works as a nanny and is homeschooling her daughter, who is adored by her grandparents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDad and Isabella are best friends,\u201d says Lauran, \u201cHe spoils her rotten. God changed his heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lauran has said goodbye to the past, walked away from those who spread rumors about her, and has remained focused on the plan God has for her and Isabella. Her rapist doesn&#8217;t try to contact them. Lauran says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Isabella knows that she has a dad out there, but that God is her father and He will be the best dad that she could ever have. She even reminds me of that. She tells me that I\u2019m the best mom and He\u2019s the best dad. I wasn&#8217;t sure how it would be to be a single mom but Isabella has the best attitude about everything and she is always there to encourage me.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_54155\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-54155\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-54155 size-medium\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/lauran-blessed-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Isabella\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/lauran-blessed-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/lauran-blessed-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/lauran-blessed.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-54155\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Isabella<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Lauran and Isabella have been able to share their story on the political stage, both by working on a local campaign and by becoming involved in the heartbeat bill in Ohio.
