CARE NET PREGNANCY CENTER


Shortly after divorcing an abusive husband, Carrie was raped by a man she thought she could trust.  When she learned she was pregnant, she believed abortion was the answer.  That way, “I could put it all behind me and forget the whole thing.”

Before her abortion appointment, Carrie confided in a friend, who urged her to visit a local Care Net pregnancy center.  Carrie tearfully agreed.At the pregnancy center, the caring counselors gently listened to her. Carrie returned often for support and remembers, “The counselors gave me insight.  They encouraged me and prayed for me.”

Looking back, Carrie says, “If it weren’t for [my Care Net pregnancy center], my daughter would most likely not be here today.  They walked hand-in-hand with the Lord for me and my daughter.”

Carrie married a loving husband, who has adopted her daughter as his own.  Today, Carrie’s daughter is ten years old, loves cheerleading and singing in her church’s youth choir.  She is a straight-A student, and loves spending time with her family.

For Carrie, that’s a long way from the dark days when she first learned she was pregnant.  That’s one of the reasons she volunteers at her local pregnancy center: to help other women whose struggles she understands so well.  “I’ve grown a love, passion, and compassion for the clients,” she says.  “God will be with them.”
