Healing After Abortion | Stories From Our Past 

I was in a similar situation. On the 6 of September 2019, I was 27 years old A month away from being 28, and I had just found out that I was pregnant. I have a 4-year-old daughter at the time. I was a single parent as well. And I lost it because I was being extremely careful to not get pregnant, and all I was thinking about was having an abortion. And one night after being home from work I was watching this movie on showbox named Unplanned, and just watching that movie prevented me from having an abortion. My daughter just turned 2 years old on the 17th of this month, and I can't imagine life without her. Her laugh her smile the way she smells the way she feels I love her more and more each day. Her name is Kehlani Naomi. Her biological father is not in her life, but she does have a daddy. I got married 2 weeks after her first birthday.

I found out I was 4 months pregnant when I was 22 years old & I was set on getting an abortion. (This was before I had a relationship with Jesus). I called Planned Parenthood as soon as I could, to schedule my abortion appointment and they had no problem setting up my appointment and even explained the entire abortion procedure (very graphically) over the phone. I was told the procedure would consist of “crushing the skull of the baby first and then removing all the body parts out piece by piece.” I’ll never forget, that very same week, I was in my car, driving, desperately wanting answers on if I was making the right decision. At that moment, I decided I did NOT want to go through with the abortion. I didn’t know Jesus at the time, but I trusted the voice I heard & never went to my abortion appointment & I decided to give birth to my daughter. As a single parent, I didn’t know how I was going to be able to raise her on my own, but by the grace of God - HE HAS ALWAYS PROVIDED FOR ME & MY DAUGHTER. 🙌🏼❤️ Now 6 years later, being saved & born again, I can see God’s hand/protection was on me all along. I didn’t deserve His mercy but He met me where I was & forgave me for my sins. I know He has a plan for me and He has a plan for my daughter 🙏🏼 I understood my life of sexual sin led me to becoming pregnant outside of marriage & that there are always consequences to our sins, but I also understood that my daughter was NOT the SIN. She was an innocent life that had nothing to do with the choices I made living in sexual immorality, outside of God's will. She was a result of MY sinful decisions but she, herself, was a BLESSING! I understand motherhood is a high calling & I’m so thankful God has entrusted me to be her mother & to steward over His daughter, raising her in the ways of the Lord. There are times the enemy still tries to condemn me with shame & guilt, but I am reminded there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. I have repented and the Lord has renewed & restored me from all sexual immorality & set me FREE. 🙌🏼 His grace is sufficient & His love never fails. ✝️🤍✨ “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9) THANK YOU JESUS! 🙏🏼

30 years after abortion I had severe depression and realised it was because of abortions. I had to go for ministry. I will always deeply regret what I did when I was young and blind to the reality of what I was doing. I appreciate you guys doing this video and also your honesty. God bless you x x

I think it's interesting that the name "Zara" means "blooming flower" and "God remembers." It's almost as if it's a reminder that God sees all the "blooming flowers" whose lives were cut too short. ❤

God please grant me the bravery and courage that it took to be this vulnerable and live in truth 🙏🏾

I just love how you both have calm personalities

I wish I had my baby here with me too. Thank you for this video

I’m 22 and waiting for marriage. Prior to watching this I wasn’t acquainted to this subject. I’m so grateful you shared this. It literally made me tear up thinking about those little angels that never made it to earth alive. I have mad respect for all the mothers now, especially young/teenage moms 🙌 Appreciate the transparency you guys! 🥺 May God continue to bless you both ❤️

Your husband's story brought me to tears. That's very, very deep, him seeing his daughter not even knowing the woman was pregnant. Your story was heartfelt as well and I'm glad you both have healed. This video was very healing 💞

I am 36 years from South Africa a single parent of 2 boys age 6 and 4. I 've had 6 abortion from age 25 until 34. Three of those abortions with the father of my children and the other three with two different men. I was raped by my cousin at the age of 9 more than 6 times. I am not married, I have resentment and anger issues. I've asked God for forgiveness and repented from my sin. I leaved a sinful life for so many years...meaningless and life without purpose.

Sending all the love to those who got an abortion 😞❤️ On the flip side of this, I also considered abortion but kept my baby (I would have probably unalived myself if I did it) I kept my baby. She’s 10 months old and I’m so happy she’s here. My relationship was on the rocks. I had been feeling depressed and suicidal prior to pregnancy. My boyfriend had dumped me for a day while I was pregnant and I came to terms with the fact that I would rather be a single mom than abort my kiddo. Her father and I tried to work things out, and it didn’t work out. So much support from family and friends though. It’s tough but I know it won’t always be this way. There is so much beauty and joy in each day. Yes, so many hard times came. But that is life. It’s always going to get hard. Life is beautiful though. - Edit: My main point is that God can do good things, even with the most difficult circumstances. But if you chose to have an abortion God still loves you and accepts you. Don’t let shame come in between you and God if you feel that way.

Wow. I’ve had two abortions. One when I was 20 and when at 34. I give myself grace for being young, but 14 years later! Smh it’s been hard to forgive myself. God continues to remind me of what I’ve done, through synchronicities and a specific number. The pain is literally unbearable at times. I feel like people need to know

Sarah your story sounds exactly like mine - I thought I had healed from my experience and repented but this video had me in tears almost straight away, especially hearing the dream and the letter🥺 I thank God I came across this video💖

Can't stop the tears, this was beautiful...I went through it Abt 20yrs ago and it was not until a year ago that I forgave myself. Shame and guilt does keep you living in the past. That letter to your daughter is just adorable and so touching. Tks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing this , me and my ex partner took the worst decision we could possibly take . Is been a year and the pain is worst than ever it is really affecting me i can not enjoy anything in my life without remembering and feeling like i dont deserve nothing but misery is very hard but i know that god knows that it was a mistake that i did , because if i had know what i was doing i would do differently

I see The Holy Spirit all over you both...just...wow! 😭 Transparency is so powerful...the enemy thrives in darkness and shames us so badly to cause us to give explanations, excuses and even deny just to survive the judgements of others but it's such a set up! I was so moved watching you both be vulnerable...and all for the sake of others! Paul said he would endure all things for the sake of the elect and I feel that so deeply as well...so seeing brothers and sisters walk that out...it's powerful beyond words. 🥲 We need to normalize being real and honest...because the façade of perfection and the toxicity created from maintaining that illusion are keeping humanity spiritually sick and blind. I thank God for Jesus...may He bless you both! 🙌🏾💕

Truly this is biblically sound and such tender encouragement. Such a beautiful marriage you both have. I pray your Channel reaches many throughout your ministry ☺️🙏🤍

Thank you for your transparency. I’m sick and tired of people using the term “abortion” so lightly, carelessly, as if it’s nothing. I pray that you can find light and healing in God through your pain💔 May God reunite you with your angels❤️‍🩹

Wow! I am just an awe of God! Now that Roe vs Wade was overturn. People needs to hear the truth. And know there is healing. Thank you both for sharing

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing your story, you are both very beautiful people, your words are beautiful and I feel everything when you speak. Sarah and Adam, thanks for sharing something that is so personal and special that could help so many others that may be going through the same thing.

Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and open with us. It must have taken a lot of courage to share this. This video really touched my heart. I pray that they Lord will guide you in your healing.

Thank you for sharing! God bless you and hold you close ❤️ I am very grateful for people like you to share their stories! Let us not forget about the souls we could never meet and enclose them in our prayers! Send you all love and hope ❤️

So moving and brave, bless you both for sharing your stories-Louise and Emily 🤗🙏❤️

Thank you for sharing! May God bless you both greatly!

I've been crying so much at this, thank you both of you for your vulnerability in sharing. Sarah, weirdly as soon as you mentioned that reel you saw I remembered I've seen it too, it was posted by Britt Xavier.

Much love, and I pray God's grace, favor and love will abound all the more for you guys and that He will open more doors and new doors where you can share your story to set others free.

He has also freed me and I thank Him so much for that. ❤

Thank you so much for this video I really needed it I have buried it for at least 30 years but it's always on my mind

love this story. so open and genuine.

These are such beautiful testimonies. Thank you both for sharing. I’m a new subscriber & am really enjoying your content. ❤️😊

Thank you for sharing your stories. Blessings.

Having passed through a similiar situation when I was outside of Christ and having walked with the Lord through my own healing as led by Him.. I thought that my healing was complete and though it is in a sense complete in Christ.. There was still surprisingly for me elements of your videos that truly touched deep and stirred some unrecognized thoughts, beliefs and emotions to deal with. Thank you both for your humble sharing of your stories. It is a blessing. My prayers go out to you both, your hearts, your home and your families. I am enjoying and being blessed by your content on this channel recently having subscribed. Praise God for you both. Your Sister in Christ, Tanya from Lebanon, Middle east

I am very grateful to have gotten a chance to hear and receive this. It was very eye opening. I was never really sure about how I should feel about abortions, and i was very much swayed by the world. I also never thought about how hard it must be for teens who make the decision to keep their children.

Thank you so much. I needed this. God gave me a beautiful story as well. But He kept leading me to watch your video. It popped up on my timeline I don’t know how many times now. You both have encouraged me to share my testimony. And I thank you so much! God bless you both ❤️

Thank you for sharing your stories ❤️

Thank you for sharing your story, really appreciate your heart for Jesus, may God bless your family and may your ministry grow so that it can reach to as many people as God intended for it to reach. You are shining bright for God's glory. Much love from your sister in Kenya❤❤❤. Am a new subscriber, really appreciate your content 🤗

Hallelujah! Beautiful testimony. Notice when you said “step into this” 27:10 the sunshine busted through. Good timing on the edits. 😁🙏

Thank you for sharing. I’m just beginning my steps to healing in a local Bible study beginning in Jan after 30 years. It’s never too late to heal and flip all those light switches on inside and shine the light onto all the dark places that the enemy wants to keep in the dark. God is great!

Powerful video, Glory to God!

Sarah you and your husband are so genuine it is a blessing to hear what you both say about abortion I am so sorry you both had to go through it. Like you both said God has taken the situation and used it for good. I consider you to be my sister and brother in Christ. I just subscribed to your channel because I know I will with the Holy Spirit learn things I need to know through your both speaking. Thanks for sharing Jesus loves you all and so do I kind people. Please Pray for my Mother and I. I have and will continue to Pray for both of you Family Friends and Neighbors all around us.We should love as Jesus does and Pray for one another.Amen Hallelujah.

Thank you for sharing. Gratefully appreciated.

Wow! Thank you for your sincere and vulnerable true stories you shared. I just saw you guys for the first time tonight... and dived right into very serious and important fact of life. I have been blessed by not walking this path and could feel how painful it could be. I am in awe that your daughter came to see you in the dreams. What a testimony and how beautiful and loving it is. Thank you for your time to share, I truly enjoy your honesty and have subscribed :) May you touch many hearts and lives, in Jesus's name, Amen.

Thank you for being so open, honest and relatable. This video is so powerful and transformative. Thank you for sharing!!! ❤️

Thank you for sharing this video -- I would love to see a video of you speaking about how the enemy made you feel like you didn't belong etc. as a very young child myself I experienced it as well and it was a very overwhelming feeling for someone even at 5 years old who is just playing with their dolls to have a strong feeling like this it made me feel so sad and confused. One of my biggest fears when I became a mother was I never want my children to experience such emotions 🥺

Brought me to tears because the message was so strong and beautiful. Adam's letter was beautiful. Thank you both for sharing your experiences.

POWERFUL your Testimony IS beautiful ✨Praise The Lord!

Thank you both so much for sharing your stories and the willingness to being vulnerable. As someone whose experienced the same and is having such a hard time forgiving myself, this is affirmation that I can and WILL have peace in my in heart through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. ❤️

Thank you so much. God bless all of us and all the unborn babies in the World. Amen

It’s a good thing to realize that what you did was wrong and then forgive yourself. And also to try and be a better person in the future. I admire that👍

God just broke my heart when I heard this. Thank you for your courage! I will use this as a springboard for my healing with Gods help.

Thanks for sharing your stories with the world and helping other people to heal too #god bless you both🙏🙌#may you both continue to serve God and give him glory

Thanks so much guys. There's such a simple gracious and humble approach in this and the other videos. Your relationship journey and the way you speak about things is very honest and not condemning, but demonstrates grace. Thank you so much guys.

Praise the Lord, we shared!! Thank you, Beautiful, for allowing us to share our stories!! ✝️🙌🏽💜

Thank you for this video. I love yours sensitivity. You are showing an importance and beauty of human life

Hey, Sarah I love how you and your husband get real and vulnerable, that you remove your masks and share you past and how God has healed you and is continuing to heal you, I honestly love your ministry.. I hope that one day I will also be able to encourage others through my story and praise God, we are a new creation in Christ Jesus, the old has gone and the new has come.... I hope I will be able to meet you one day inperson, such an encouragement 😀 God bless you and may He renew your strength like an eagles... Medline, from Kenya Africa 🇰🇪

Thank you for your vulnerability. This video helped me with guilt not from abortion, but something else and I think that’s so powerful! Sharing your story helped me and we don’t even have the exact same story! Just speaks further to how God is able to use your situation!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

I cried when Adam read the letter, it was very beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing both of you. You guys are amazing! God bless!

Thank you for your vulnerability and courage. This is so needed. Too many people falsely believe being a believer means being perfect.

Thank you guys 🙏 your story brings a sense of peace, love and grace 🙏 Adam said he would like to remember the dream more vividly, maybe drawing a simple drawing of the dream, maybe in the journal or as part of the letter ❤️

Thank you for being so generous with your vulnerability. We all have regrets and need the healing grace of Jesus. This was a beautiful testimony💜

Thank you for sharing this. God bless you

Really appreciate the fact that you guys shared your experiences through & through. I really loved what Adam said on being transparent for letting others see Christ in us.🙏

Love you guys. Bless your vulnerability ❤️

Thank you for the transaparency. God forgives and forgets. His grace is sufficient! Glad you spoke on the freedom we can have in Christ.

I felt the Holy Spirit moving as I watched your video. Thank you for being transparent for the Lord. Jesus heals and forgives and it is through Him that our faith is perfected. God bless you both and bless your marriage abundantly. I can only pray that my wife and I have the same convictions and love for Christ and for sharing our stories as well to encourage others. Much love to you both.

Wow. Thank you guys for sharing, being open and touching lives. I haven't gone through abortion personally. But I felt very convicted when Adam said "don't leave things in the dark and shine God's light on it" This really impacted me.

I bet your Dad is so proud of how far you've come.

Thank you guys. It takes a lot of courage to talk about this topic. I was 20, couple days away from my 21st birthday when I had mine. I was with the guy for about 5 years when it happened. I have only told 2 people so far but I have felt it in my heart that I need to share it with my family in order to be completely free. Just scared of their reaction and how they'll see me after.

This is brave and must be tough to talk about. My mom had an abortion. I'm sure it effected her. God bless you too.

Thankyou both for this message ,Adam I enjoyed seeing a male view on this subject.

I cried during that letter Adam! That was so touching and it showed Jesus through you man! Just had a to pause the video and write that out bro!

May Jesus continue using You both greatly 🙏🏻

Very real (Christians), indeed! God bless you both!

I never would have considered abortion and have always been pro life but being pregnant 3 times by the age of 20 made me stand even firmer in my pro life beliefs, going to the scans and even seeing all 4 chambers of my oldest son’s heart beating away at just 7 weeks gestation amazed me and reading scripture made me realise the gravity of the situation I was in, reading that God knit my babies together in the womb made me feel so blessed and privileged to be able to carry them. Me and my husband feel so blessed to have our little family and I hope we can be a light to other young parents that are considering whether or not to keep their babies, The Bible says God will provide if we do what he says and that might not always look the way we want it to but God’s plan for our lives is so much greater than our own. This video made me so emotional I’m so proud of you both for speaking up and I have subscribed to your channel aswell ❤️

Wow, thank you both SO much 😭. I was avoiding coming to Christ for the last 4 years because I didn't want to face what I had done at 20....of course at the time I felt tremendous relief, and for years after I felt no regret or guilt. None. And then, at about 25, I started to feel pulled to get closer to God, but I resisted so hard because even though I couldn't articulate it at the time, I knew I'd have to repent for certain things, one being abortion. I guess I wasn't ready to face what I had done at that time. I'm 29 now and closer with God than ever before, and to feel that grace and mercy that I am so undeserving of feels so incredible and peaceful. God is a good God. Thank you both so much for sharing.
