Choosing Life

We have a very special and unique blog for you today. Adrian Collins is our amazing Hope’s Promise Adoption and Pregnancy Blog Editor and has been gracing us with her beautifully written words since 2017. Now, we are thrilled to share her spoken word as well. Recently, Adrian had an interview with Phil Darke, the host of ThinkOrphan. ThinkOrphan is a critical podcast that is shaping how we as Christians think and serve orphan children around the globe.    

In the interview Adrian shares her story – 

  • The shock and shame of becoming pregnant as a junior in college, the direction and advice she received from people she trusted and walking out on her abortion appointment. 
  • What women in similar situations need to hear from those that love them. 
  • How churches can advocate for life by welcoming and mentoring young men and women facing unplanned pregnancies. 
  • Being on two sides of the adoption process – as both a birth mother and an adoptive mother. 
  • Reuniting with her birth daughter after 11 years of separation and building trust over honest conversations. 

Join us in listening to Adrian’s podcast and learn to celebrate hope in the midst of disappointment, joy in spite of difficult choices, and find a love that can move mountains.
