What Our Clients Say

At Abigail, our goal is to provide services and support to women and men facing unplanned pregnancies.  If you would like a deeper look into how we serve others, read Laina’s story below.

“I was 15 years old when I came to Abigail to have a pregnancy test. When the test was positive, I felt like my life was thrown into chaos. My mom started pressuring me to have an abortion because she was scared of the affect that a pregnancy would have on me, my schooling, and my chance to have a good life. I didn’t know what to do, but I decided to go back to Abigail, because the counselor there had made it clear that she cared about me. Abigail helped me consider all of my options — abortion, adoption, and parenting — so that I knew what the consequences would be. In the end, I chose to parent my little one. I had always loved babies and children, and I was confident that I could be a good parent even though I was young.

I kept going back to Abigail during my pregnancy to have the emotional and mental support from them. They cared about me personally and my decision and helped prepare me to be a mom. Then I found out that they even had supplies that could help when my baby was born. On December 21, 2004, my beautiful little girl was born. She is my blessing and I can’t imagine not having her in my life. After she was born, I went on to finish school with honors and earn a scholarship for college. Of course there were extra challenges from having a baby, but I don’t regret my decision in anyway. My little girl is now a very happy, outgoing nine-year-old who loves art, music and school. Now I have the privilege of teaching her about God’s love for her and plan for her life.”
