00:22:31.823 --> 00:22:33.992
>> you yeah. mm hmm.
00:22:34.125 --> 00:22:34.325
Mm hmm. and so we actually applied for
00:22:34.459 --> 00:22:38.096
And so we actually applied for adoption.
00:22:38.229 --> 00:22:38.463
Adoption. we were married in our thirties
00:22:38.596 --> 00:22:41.700
We were married in our thirties and we thought well, we better
00:22:41.833 --> 00:22:42.567
And we thought well, we better do this because we didn't know
00:22:42.701 --> 00:22:43.334
Do this because we didn't know how long it would take.
00:22:43.468 --> 00:22:43.968
How long it would take. so we applied for right away
00:22:44.102 --> 00:22:45.570
So we applied for right away and we said well we'll take an
00:22:45.704 --> 00:22:46.371
And we said well we'll take an older child because we didn't
00:22:46.504 --> 00:22:47.105
Older child because we didn't have any children yet.
00:22:47.238 --> 00:22:49.541
Have any children yet. and so to our shock we were
00:22:49.674 --> 00:22:50.608
And so to our shock we were matched right away with the
00:22:50.742 --> 00:22:53.344
Matched right away with the little boy who was five and
00:22:53.478 --> 00:22:54.012
Little boy who was five and then i found i was pregnant.
00:22:54.145 --> 00:22:57.148
Then i found i was pregnant. all of a sudden we were told
00:22:57.282 --> 00:22:57.949
All of a sudden we were told the child's not available
00:22:58.083 --> 00:23:00.719
The child's not available longer.
00:23:00.852 --> 00:23:01.052
Longer. wow.
00:23:01.186 --> 00:23:01.319
Wow. so by that time i'm i'm moving
00:23:01.453 --> 00:23:02.087
So by that time i'm i'm moving along in my pregnancy so i had
00:23:02.220 --> 00:23:05.156
Along in my pregnancy so i had drew first and we said well we
00:23:05.290 --> 00:23:06.024

Better wait year we have a baby here.
00:23:09.127 --> 00:23:09.294
Here. and so on his first birthday we
00:23:09.427 --> 00:23:10.161
And so on his first birthday we celebrated his birthday in the
00:23:10.295 --> 00:23:13.331
Celebrated his birthday in the morning and we were at the
00:23:13.465 --> 00:23:14.032

00:23:17.669 --> 00:23:20.739
And then i found out i was pregnant with torrie.
00:23:20.872 --> 00:23:21.306
Pregnant with torrie. >> oh, my goodness.

>> oh, my goodness. seriously.
00:23:21.973 --> 00:23:22.207
Seriously. and i thought, you know what?
00:23:22.340 --> 00:23:24.409
And i thought, you know what? we probably need to wait till
00:23:24.542 --> 00:23:25.376
We probably need to wait till after this baby.
00:23:25.510 --> 00:23:28.113
After this baby. >> so on her first birthday we
00:23:28.246 --> 00:23:29.013
>> so on her first birthday we had her party in the morning
00:23:29.147 --> 00:23:29.748
Had her party in the morning and we were at the adoption
00:23:29.881 --> 00:23:32.784
And we were at the adoption agency in the afternoon and

Agency in the afternoon and then but then we adopting an
00:23:33.585 --> 00:23:36.121
Then but then we adopting an infant and because we just felt
00:23:36.254 --> 00:23:36.888
Infant and because we just felt like it was the right order.
00:23:37.021 --> 00:23:39.858
Like it was the right order. >> yeah, it was really funny
00:23:39.991 --> 00:23:42.393
>> yeah, it was really funny because it took nine months
00:23:42.527 --> 00:23:43.128
Because it took nine months when we got the announcement
00:23:43.261 --> 00:23:43.828
When we got the announcement that your your child is here,
00:23:43.962 --> 00:23:46.965
That your your child is here, your baby is here.
00:23:47.098 --> 00:23:47.499
Your baby is here. gosh.
00:23:47.632 --> 00:23:47.799
Gosh. but four months for the
00:23:49.067 --> 00:23:49.768
But four months for the paperwork to be done.
00:23:49.901 --> 00:23:50.368
Paperwork to be done. so he came just before tori
00:23:50.502 --> 00:23:53.204
So he came just before tori turned to and we really thought
00:23:53.338 --> 00:23:53.972
Turned to and we really thought our family was finished we
00:23:54.105 --> 00:23:56.808
Our family was finished we thought we were complete but we
00:23:56.941 --> 00:23:57.609
Thought we were complete but we we would talk to each other if
00:23:57.742 --> 00:24:00.912
We would talk to each other if we ever adopted again.
00:24:01.045 --> 00:24:01.513
We ever adopted again. we would like to adopt either a
00:24:01.646 --> 00:24:02.347
We would like to adopt either a black or biracial child and
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.582
Black or biracial child and this was not you know, we not
00:24:04.716 --> 00:24:08.453
This was not you know, we not being like crusaders of the
00:24:08.586 --> 00:24:09.154
Being like crusaders of the universe but we did feel like
00:24:09.287 --> 00:24:09.888
Universe but we did feel like that was picture of heaven and
00:24:10.021 --> 00:24:12.323
That was picture of heaven and that that you know, we needed
00:24:12.457 --> 00:24:13.057
That that you know, we needed to break the the traditions of
00:24:13.191 --> 00:24:16.194
To break the the traditions of what is or is not normal or
00:24:16.327 --> 00:24:20.131
What is or is not normal or acceptable.
00:24:20.265 --> 00:24:20.532
Acceptable. >> and so but we never prayed
00:24:20.665 --> 00:24:23.234
>> and so but we never prayed it.
00:24:23.368 --> 00:24:23.501
It. and i think of that scripture
00:24:23.635 --> 00:24:24.369
And i think of that scripture that says before you call will
00:24:24.502 --> 00:24:26.971
That says before you call will answer because one day we are
00:24:27.105 --> 00:24:30.008

>> we might not know the big picture.
00:32:20.511 --> 00:32:20.711

>> you know we want somebody to say when people say this too
00:32:25.683 --> 00:32:26.284
Say when people say this too like if god did show us the big
00:32:26.417 --> 00:32:27.618
Like if god did show us the big picture we might not even want
00:32:27.752 --> 00:32:28.386
Picture we might not even want it.
00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:28.653
It. >> oh because it's so yes,
00:32:28.786 --> 00:32:31.889
>> oh because it's so yes, outlandish and out of our
00:32:32.023 --> 00:32:32.523
Outlandish and out of our capacity and control and yeah
00:32:32.657 --> 00:32:35.793
Capacity and control and yeah you know you know that's why he
00:32:35.926 --> 00:32:36.594
You know you know that's why he says lean not on your
00:32:36.727 --> 00:32:38.629
Says lean not on your understanding because you're
00:32:38.763 --> 00:32:39.330
Understanding because you're right if we saw the picture
00:32:39.463 --> 00:32:42.833
Right if we saw the picture we'd be terrified, you know i
00:32:42.967 --> 00:32:43.868
We'd be terrified, you know i mean think if moses had seen
00:32:44.001 --> 00:32:47.338
Mean think if moses had seen the long term picture.
00:32:47.471 --> 00:32:51.108
The long term picture. no yeah you know yeah.
00:32:51.242 --> 00:32:51.776
No yeah you know yeah. i mean i just think there are
00:32:51.909 --> 00:32:54.445
I mean i just think there are stories after stories after
00:32:54.578 --> 00:32:55.146
Stories after stories after stories in the bible of people
00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:59.050
Stories in the bible of people who just did one day at a time
00:32:59.183 --> 00:32:59.917
Who just did one day at a time with jesus and you know there's
00:33:00.051 --> 00:33:02.687
With jesus and you know there's something in that that's so
00:33:02.820 --> 00:33:05.523
Something in that that's so both endearing, empowering,
00:33:05.656 --> 00:33:09.193
Both endearing, empowering, encouraging that we would miss
00:33:09.327 --> 00:33:13.431
Encouraging that we would miss if we got the big picture and
00:33:13.564 --> 00:33:14.231
If we got the big picture and just determined for ourselves
00:33:14.365 --> 00:33:16.567
Just determined for ourselves because we get to know him and
00:33:16.701 --> 00:33:17.501
Because we get to know him and the process we get to know him
00:33:17.635 --> 00:33:20.805
The process we get to know him the journey yeah we get to see
00:33:20.938 --> 00:33:21.639
The journey yeah we get to see him do things we would have
00:33:21.772 --> 00:33:25.109
Him do things we would have deemed impossible in our lives
00:33:25.242 --> 00:33:28.179
Deemed impossible in our lives because he's big and is great
00:33:28.312 --> 00:33:29.113
Because he's big and is great and he's and you know the bible
00:33:29.246 --> 00:33:32.483
And he's and you know the bible says it's his good pleasure to
00:33:32.616 --> 00:33:33.250
Says it's his good pleasure to give his children the keys to
00:33:33.384 --> 00:33:36.120
Give his children the keys to the kingdom so we don't have to
00:33:36.253 --> 00:33:36.921
The kingdom so we don't have to beg him for that.
00:33:37.054 --> 00:33:39.824
Beg him for that. you know, it's he's our dad and

Walking down looking at all the destruction and my husband's
00:45:26.396 --> 00:45:26.964
Destruction and my husband's work was impacted so they were
00:45:27.097 --> 00:45:29.900
Work was impacted so they were completely closed and all we
00:45:30.033 --> 00:45:30.601
Completely closed and all we could think of is what are we
00:45:30.734 --> 00:45:33.904
Could think of is what are we going to do?
00:45:34.037 --> 00:45:34.338

Talk about well, there's no way we can keep this baby.

We can keep this baby. >> we were just not prepared.
00:45:38.375 --> 00:45:39.009
>> we were just not prepared. we were 2000 miles away from
00:45:39.142 --> 00:45:41.845
We were 2000 miles away from any support system at home and
00:45:41.979 --> 00:45:45.115
Any support system at home and the following week within a
00:45:45.249 --> 00:45:45.816
The following week within a matter of days hit and my
00:45:45.949 --> 00:45:49.119
Matter of days hit and my husband lost his job and it
00:45:49.253 --> 00:45:49.953
Husband lost his job and it just just fear.
00:45:50.087 --> 00:45:56.460
Just just fear. and my husband and i both
00:45:56.593 --> 00:45:57.327
And my husband and i both believers never thought we
00:45:57.461 --> 00:45:57.995
Believers never thought we would leave abortion be an
00:45:58.128 --> 00:46:00.697
Would leave abortion be an option.
00:46:00.831 --> 00:46:01.031
Option. but at that time it felt like
00:46:01.164 --> 00:46:01.832
But at that time it felt like that was the only that we could
00:46:01.965 --> 00:46:04.167
That was the only that we could do.
00:46:04.301 --> 00:46:04.434
Do. >> i literally felt like i had
00:46:04.568 --> 00:46:09.072
>> i literally felt like i had nobody to talk to especially
00:46:09.206 --> 00:46:12.409
Nobody to talk to especially thinking that i may have an
00:46:12.542 --> 00:46:16.013
Thinking that i may have an abortion.
00:46:16.146 --> 00:46:16.380
Abortion. majority of my friends are
00:46:16.513 --> 00:46:17.047
Majority of my friends are christians and that would be i
00:46:17.180 --> 00:46:20.017
Christians and that would be i just didn't to be judged on
00:46:20.150 --> 00:46:23.186
Just didn't to be judged on that sense and because my
00:46:23.320 --> 00:46:26.256
That sense and because my mother is a christian i didn't
00:46:26.390 --> 00:46:27.090
Mother is a christian i didn't think also i could tell her and
00:46:27.224 --> 00:46:30.560
Think also i could tell her and so it was a very lonely and
00:46:30.694 --> 00:46:31.495
So it was a very lonely and isolating and just dealing with
00:46:31.628 --> 00:46:34.698
Isolating and just dealing with the shame and the guilt and
00:46:34.831 --> 00:46:38.368
The shame and the guilt and knowing if i get an abortion
00:46:38.502 --> 00:46:42.339

Feelings alone and not having an outlet to talk about were

An outlet to talk about were just extremely, extremely hard.
00:47:02.693 --> 00:47:03.293
Just extremely, extremely hard. >> under the weight of her

With this decision and i needed somebody to talk to that didn't

Was wrong. i knew it.
00:47:43.066 --> 00:47:45.035
I knew it. >> but there's a sense when you
00:47:45.168 --> 00:47:45.902

Go through something yourself it's well i guess it's okay and
00:47:46.737 --> 00:47:52.342
It's well i guess it's okay and i really had to challenge
00:47:52.476 --> 00:47:53.043
I really had to challenge myself for is it okay and why
00:47:53.176 --> 00:47:59.282
Myself for is it okay and why why would this innocent life
00:47:59.416 --> 00:48:00.016
Why would this innocent life just be taken?
00:48:00.150 --> 00:48:02.853
Just be taken? >> because i don't feel like
00:48:02.986 --> 00:48:03.720
>> because i don't feel like i'm ready is that a reason for

Abortion? i, i think at the end of the

I, i think at the end of the day i knew it wasn't right but
00:48:15.298 --> 00:48:18.235
Day i knew it wasn't right but than just not right.
00:48:18.368 --> 00:48:18.802

It's like sin if nobody knows about your sin it's okay and
00:48:19.703 --> 00:48:22.205
About your sin it's okay and you can keep doing it.
00:48:22.339 --> 00:48:22.806
You can keep doing it. it's like once you speak it out

It's like once you speak it out it it brings a realness, a
00:48:25.442 --> 00:48:29.913
It it brings a realness, a light to it and that's how kind
00:48:30.046 --> 00:48:30.714
Light to it and that's how kind of the abortion felt.

Selfish and having a child my life is not my own.

They are a reward from him. it doesn't matter how they
00:50:14.684 --> 00:50:15.385

And life itself as a gift. you know, once we lose sight of
00:50:35.005 --> 00:50:35.839
You know, once we lose sight of that then it begins to send out
00:50:35.972 --> 00:50:39.009
That then it begins to send out these tentacles to whether it's
00:50:39.142 --> 00:50:39.776
These tentacles to whether it's convenient what do i how is

>> he will make a way for me but it's a trust factor.
00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:19.482
But it's a trust factor. it's also understanding that
00:51:19.616 --> 00:51:23.053
It's also understanding that life is a gift to be
00:51:23.186 --> 00:51:23.920
