“They wanted me to terminate."

When you see this sticker on a newborn's incubator, there's something important you need to know before you talk to the mom.

"I felt the Lord speak to my heart. To me, the busy mom, the weary woman, the hustling business lady, the overwhelmed, but loving wife. But mostly, the daughter."

"As I held her, she gasped for breath. I told her that I was so sorry. I told her I loved her. I told her it was okay to let go. Seeing your child dying and knowing that there is nothing you can do to save them, it’s a terrible feeling. You’re helpless."

"We only see a small point in time, a tiny little snapshot, compared to all of the life that’s being lived behind the scenes."

“My son has permanent brain damage. His visual memory is in the fourth percentile. He's impaired in his ability to make real world choices because of his visual memory and his ability to fully perceive visual input.”

“Most people don’t understand what it’s like to be chained in a monster’s basement.”

"I had hated myself for the very reasons he loved me."
