I am raising my daughter to exhibit the same qualities the numerous women who have positively shaped me possess. I want her to be selfless, like the women who choose adoption. I want her to be full of love, like the incredible woman who raised me. I want her to be strong enough to say yes to the hard assignments like her I did.

But most importantly, I want her to be brave, just like my birth mother was at 14 years old.

These qualities have lasting generational impacts. Ava Jane is here today because of her grandmother’s brave decision to choose life. Every year, thousands of women like my birth mom make the brave decision to seek help with an unplanned pregnancy at Real Options and in pregnancy centers across the country. We must do everything in our power to support them.
