Becca

mixed.so i kept pretty silent about it.my boyfriend's parents were mormon and showed up at my house with people to talk me out of it,to give up the baby for mormon adoption.my boyfriend told me i had to-until i had recieved my meds and was about to go into the room for the procedure,then he started yelling at me not to kill his baby.my mom knew it was what i needed to do,but was sad for me. the only couple of friends i talked to seemed pretty unaffected by my decision.

the staff were very kind,helpful, and supportive. since i was given pain pills i only have a vague memory of the discomfort.i did get violently ill afterwards.

i was under 18,living with an emotionally abusive father,and my boyfriend was abusive.i didn't feel like i had the strength for any other option.it was difficult becasue i always looked forward to being a mother.

i've been the whole spectrum of emotions.and even though it was a long time ago, and i know i did what was best, i still have moments of saddness.we are only human.
