"I loved knowing that someone (other
than me) really loved this unborn child. God bless everyone at the
Center."
"I didn't realize how MUCH I had
accomplished until we looked back at my Goals Sheet. I probably wouldn't
have been able to accomplish all this on my own."
"Before I met my advocate, I was selfish
- not living the life I wanted to live for my child's sake - everything
changed with the help I received. I've become the mom I wanted to
be."
