Give unwanted babies up for adoption
Moms and dads, think about what it is like to hug and kiss one of your children. You bury your nose and lips into their cheek and feel the softness and scent of their skin. You radiate a certain love for that young person that is unique, special and hard to put into words.
Only you are their mom and dad; only he or she is your son or daughter. Your DNA is in them and you are intimately connected to them no matter how far apart you are from them.
Jan. 22, 1973, is the day that we began to legally abort children at the request of their mothers. These children whisper out of the womb to their mothers not to kill them. These children want that precious and special relationship with their moms and to live out their lives. Abortion is legal, but it is not right before God.
If you cannot take care of this baby, allow this baby to be adopted. The child will thank you for their entire life. Mothers, they are whispering. Are you listening?
