The movie coming from this - Lifemark - is truly a story that NEEDS to be told over and over again.

[@KingsDaughter1957]

Yes! Especially in every YOUTH GROUP! There are HARD consequences for unplanned pregnancies, no matter the young parents' choice, but GOD can bring good from this difficult journey!

[@sherryjacobs3907]

Terrific young man. Choosing adoption is a selfless act. To have the strength to give your child a better start in life....powerful, courageous, selfless. Bless them all.

Oh my gosh I can’t stop crying! I didn’t walk out of the abortion clinic twice. I can’t believe the person I was . I regret it everyday. Abortion changes you forever! If people tell you otherwise they are WRONG. I wish I could go back and hold those babies in my arms😢

[@productioncolors]

May God comfort you and know that He forgives you.

[@marialeach8960]

There is forgiveness for those who genuinely repent. HE is sooo merciful even when we commit such atrocities. HE is faithful. So, rest in HIS promises.

[@loriwhinery3210]

@@marialeach8960 I did ask for forgiveness about five years after my abortions, it just hit me one day while I was in the shower, I sobbed and sobbed and couldn’t stop. I know He has forgiven me but sometimes I can’t forgive myself. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@deb9784]

Dearest Lori, I understand the guilt you carry! It can be soooo overwhelming! 💞 But please know that the blood of Jesus covers all our repented sins! Baptism in water and the HOLY SPIRIT brings freedom! Community brings healing often through confessing-- you might want to contact a pregnancy center they offer counseling because they know the pain you carry! Please know scripture says, "For we've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of GOD." Sending love and prayers for greater healing! 😘💖

As David said he has a mission that's why he's born, his life has been a beautiful message that's been intended to others to look up to the Creator of life.

POWERFUL!❤ i came on here having watched LIFEMARK! Praise God, for the lady who said "Your baby has ten fingers & ten toes" Praise God for Melissa changing her mind & walking out that clinic & through the crowd. Praise God for saving David.

[@tammyhollandsworth6783]

This was very emotional to watch. I had already struggled with an abortion once and planned to have a second one. The night before I was to abore my child I couldn’t sleep. I felt God telling me not to. When the nurse showed me the screen with this little baby that was yet to be born… I couldn’t go through with the abortion. I had lost two twin babies years before and didn’t understand the truth about what happens when you choose to abore. I had mixed feelings at such a young age. I still have regrets to this very day but I know the Lord is forgiving. Today my daughter that I chose to keep is a beautiful healthy young lady with 4 children of her own. I know God had a wonderful purpose for her life. I am still so grateful for Gods love and mercy that made me see life isn’t taking away even when our troubles seem so great. My story is too long to explain the first abortion but I know my babies are in heaven and I will see them again. Thank you for sharing your story and look forward to seeing this movie. God bless you all!

[@susandoughtie3156]

We just went and saw the movie. It is awesome!

[@annalewis2041]

I’m so sorry that you went thru this and were mislead. I can’t imagine your pain. Jesus forgives ! That is why he died for us. If you have accepted him you will see those babies again. Rest your heart now sister knowing that they are waiting for you 💕

[@samsmom400]

At least you kept your baby. She rejected hers. I don't cry for her. I cry for the children that have to wake up and know that every single day they were rejected by their mothers. The term "adoption" means rejected. It's just a nicer way of saying it.

Thanks for the courage it took to share this beautiful story. Full circle, not easy but so worth it, it brought me to tears. So much love to go around.

[@wb5408]

Adoption is really difficult. It is born from loss--the loss of a child for birth parents, the loss of birth parents for the child; and often, the loss of a child, or the ability to have children, for the adoptive parents (not to mention all the losses in the adoption journey along the way). there are so many emotions and struggles along the way, and not every adoption story turns out as "happily ever after" as this one. Not every adopted child is grateful--nor should they be expected to be. But in the end...ADOPTION IS BEAUTIFUL! It is the purest definition of "beauty from ashes." And if I ever have the opportunity to meet my beautiful daughter's birth mom, I will hug her and tell her, "I love you" with just as much excitement as this mom did!

[@sunshineland]

Great story! I think David looks so much like his adopted dad. Can't wait to see the movie!

[@GreenManelishi]

What a beautiful, sad, happy, uplifting story. I never had children. I made a terrible decision many years ago. No, it was not an abortion. I walked away from a relationship with a woman who loved me. It was not perfect but I was stupid. To this day I miss her, love her, wonder what might have been that never was.

[@renhar2043]

I appreciate this story very heart wrenching. I wished the Government would consider people who a board babies to watch this story as mandatory law .

[@kimisorensen4974]

I’m adopted. And I’ve always thought what if. I wonder if my birth mom ever thinks about me. I wonder if my father ever found out that I existed. And then I think I want to find them. But then that guard on my heart surfaces. And I think, culture in Korea is so much different than US. Here if a mother is working 3 jobs as a single parent she’s looked at almost as a hero figure, but in Korea, she would not be looked at this way at all. It would bring shame on her entire family. So yes the questions are always there, however I never move further because I’ve realized there is a possibility that no one knew about me, and did that reason my oma might not want to be found. Idk. I think I’m guarding my own heart more than hers. I don’t know if I could handle it if she were to say, no one knew and look what finding me caused. I hope I’m braver one day. But until that day, David you’re my hero.

This and all of the amazing stories like this because of the right to choose LIFE. The way that doctor behaved is exactly the way all pro abortion behave when they find that their “choice” rhetoric gets turned around and babies live instead. They’re not pro choice, they’re pro death. When mistakes are rectified God’s way, these stories are the results. There’s forgiveness, happiness and life vs unforgiveness, continuous sadness, guilt and shame, all because the choice was death.
