Chloe and Jacob's Story

When Chloe* and Jacob* discovered they were pregnant, they were initially faced with anxiety. Chloe had miscarried several times in the past so the idea of being pregnant again was met with great fear. She admitted that she had taken the abortion pill to control the outcome instead of experiencing another miscarriage. However, Jacob was not involved in that decision, and she regretted robbing her body of the opportunity to carry a child successfully.

After she decided to tell him, Jacob was initially upset and told Chloe, “That’s my baby too, you know.” They researched and discovered a provider to prescribe progesterone as an attempt to reverse the abortion. They then visited Life Forward where they received an ultrasound and were presented with a care package for each of them. Jacob was especially grateful that he was considered in this gesture, finding gifts and resources for him, as well as for Chloe and the baby.

The couple was not certain that the reversal had worked yet, so they accepted prayer for their journey. Despite faith being something they wrestle with, they were open to and encouraged by the Gospel message shared with them at Life Forward.
