Today I Am Thankful...

For a mother in Kazakhstan and a mother in China who chose LIFE and HOPE for their baby girls.

My girls.  (This was taken in October)

I do not know their stories, I do not know what their hopes and dreams and fears were (and probably are) for their little daughters.  I do not know what circumstances made them decide that they could not parent their daughters.  But I do know that abortions are easy to obtain in both Kazakhstan and China.  I do know that they chose to carry their babies and to give birth and to be sure that they were left in a place of safety.  And for that I am forever grateful.
