BreakPoint
Choosing love may make it easier for someone to choose life. And yet, there’s a whole lot more to adoption than that.
It’s a beautiful story, and trust me on this: Grab your tissues before watching this video I’m about to describe to you. Miranda and Daniel Perry, already parents of a six-year-old girl, wanted to adopt another child. They were matched with a pregnant mother in Texas, and prepared to welcome their new son. But this Christian couple’s hopes were dashed when the little boy’s mother changed her mind, and decided to keep him.
That’s when the Perry family learned of an expecting mother who had attempted a medicinal abortion that failed. After speaking with her doctor, the woman decided not to go through with a surgical abortion but instead to put her little girl up for adoption. I won’t spoil the ending for you, but there was yet another twist in store for the Perry family before they could welcome little Lydia into their home.
