I am twenty-three years old and have been married since Jan. 30th 1998. I
have two children and one on the way. My daughter, Brittany, is five years
old and my son, Jayden, is three. I have been pregnant four times now, all unplanned, including the present pregnancy. My second child, Christian, was miscarried when I was
almost six months along. I live in Austin, Texas, own my own business, and
plan to be a surrogate mother for a wonderful single man once my own baby
gets here. I am in the process of writing a book about surrogate parenting and adoption.

Abortion has long been an issue that I have held an interest in. My mother
had three abortions before I was born. Back then it was "just what you did".
I have done a lot of research and been to a lot of anti-violent,
anti-abortion rallies. I don't think that there is ever an excuse to have an
abortion. It's murdering an innocent human life. In cases of rape and incest
I think that adoption is the best option. Why trade one violent act for
another? Two wrongs don't make a right and although the baby is half "his",
it's also half "hers". In cases where the mothers life is at risk...I would
throw myself in front of a train to save the lives of my already born
children and I will do the same for my unborn. I've had my chance to live and
I want to give my kids the same chance.

I'm not the type that throws stones at people that have had abortions or are
thinking of having one. I simply want them to be educated. I think that a lot
of the reason women have abortions is out of shear ignorance. They DON'T have
all of the facts. This site is a wonderful educational tool. I wish that they
had this information more readily available 25 years ago before my brothers
and sisters were slaughtered.
