A family heard about CCCC through their church. Not long after, they discovered their daughter was pregnant and considering an abortion. They made an appointment at our center, and after talking with the counselor and seeing her baby on the ultrasound machine, the daughter chose life for her unborn child.

A 33 year old client came to our center seeking an abortion.  She has 3 children at home, the youngest being 8 years old.  She stated she could not have a baby right now, and she did not want to start all over again with a newborn.  She had an abortion in the past and felt it was the right decision for her at that time.  When we did the ultrasound, we found out she was 11 weeks pregnant.  The baby was very active and the mom stared at the monitor and started to cry.  She said "wow, that's a baby!". We showed her all of the parts of the baby including the heart.  She then stated, "I guess I have to change my decision.  That's a baby!".  We then counseled her and read to her in God's Word that children are a blessing from God.  We also shared the gospel with her and with tears in her eyes she asked Jesus into her life.  Smiling ear to ear, this client said how happy she was she came to our center.  She was sent home with a Bible and a list of some churches in her area.  Through seeing the ultrasound, this client chose life for her baby and eternal life for herself.

A 19 year old client came to our office with her boyfriend. Her ultrasound showed her to be 6 weeks, 2 days pregnant.  She was quiet when viewing her baby on the screen; however, she and her boyfriend have decided to parent their child.  At the age of 15 she had an abortion.  The client is a Christian and we encouraged her to attend "post-abortion counseling" classes offered at the center.  We also strongly recommended parenting classes for both of them.  We prayed together.

We had A 25 year old client came to our office with her husband seeking an ultrasound.  This couple came to America from Africa to seek an education for both.  They are both in their last year of college and graduating in May.  Because they have no health insurance at this time, they came to us seeking proof of her pregnancy to help aid them in obtaining insurance.  Even though this young couple felt they were not "ready" to be parents yet, they knew this child was a blessing from God.  Seeing they baby on the ultrasound machine brought tears to both of their eyes, but seeing the heart beating on the screen left them in awe.  The father stated, "that really is a baby in there".  The couple plans to graduate in May and then continue preparing for the birth of the first child due in October.

We had a couple come into our center who were abortion-minded (the client had 3 previous abortions).  As the couple saw their little baby on the ultrasound screen moving and waving at them, the client made the comment, "Oh wow! It's too late to have an abortion".  As they left, the couple were still undecided about their decision to keep this baby.  When I followed up with a phone call, we are happy to report that they have chosen "LIFE".
