Reggie's Story

 

“We came to Life Forward when we found out we were having twins. Even though this was an unplanned pregnancy, we knew we eventually wanted to start a family. We were expecting. We were excited. So, it was devastating to lose our girls in a miscarriage.

“When we learned we were having another child, we knew right away that we should go down to Life Forward and get an ultrasound because we wanted to see her.

“Going from the lowest point of my life I’ve ever had after the miscarriage to right now I’m at the highest of highs. I’m just really excited to see my daughter and that’s it. That’s all I want. That’s like goal number one.

“Coming to Life Forward is just welcoming every time we come. it’s just a whole bunch of knowledge, a well of knowledge, here at Life Forward. They’re really personal. They just want to make sure you’re as comfortable as you can be and set you up for success.”

Life Forward was there when Reggie and Chloe needed them. They faced difficult and painful circumstances around the miscarriage of their twin girls. Life Forward walked with Reggie and Chloe and offered them support and sympathetic medical professionals who listened to them, prayed with them, and encouraged them in their journey.

Through the parenting education classes, Reggie learned about what it means to be a first-time dad. He also was challenged to think about what kind of values he wanted to instill in his daughter along with how he might be a positive influence in his baby’s life.

Through your support, men like Reggie are learning and growing in their understandings of positive fatherhood. During this season that we celebrate fathers, we thank you for partnering with us to help men succeed as dads and to be able to share the Gospel with them.
