Our monthly support group meeting with Bethany was tonight. We took a field trip to the National Memorial for the Unborn. I had mixed feelings about going tonight, and I wondered if I would be able to hold it all together.
I am very thankful that we went. It was such a blessing to tour Choices Pregnancy Center and hear about their ministry to women who are faced with an unplanned pregnancy. The birth mother we will be matched with will be faced with an unplanned pregnancy, and I feel this trip helped us better understand somewhat of what she will go through.
We toured the Memorial for the unborn tonight also. The exact location where an aborntion clinic once stood was torn down and replaced with a memorial for all the lives that were ended too soon.
I am so thankful that they have started an area where women can go to mourn the loss of a child through miscarriage. The memorial garden was beautiful.
While this support group meeting was a bit more sad for us, it was much needed. We needed the exsposure to the pregnancy center and the Memorial for the Unborn.
