Woman Conceived in Incest: Please Don’t Kill Children Like Me in AbortionKristi Hofferber has always known she was adopted. At three days old she was welcomed into the loving home of her parents, who were unable to have biological children. She was an only child, and her parents felt no need to hide the adoption, as they knew adoption wasn’t something to be ashamed of. And Kristi wasn’t ashamed, but she was worried that if she looked for her birth mother, it might hurt her parents in some way. So for years, she denied that she had any desire to find her birth family.
“I had a wonderful childhood. My parents gave me everything I needed. Many adoptees have a desire to know more. I did have that desire,” she says. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/04/woman-conceived-in-incest-please-dont-kill-children-like-me-in-abortion/

Baby Celeste Only Lived 22 Weeks But Her Impact Will Last a LifetimeMeet Celeste. Her name means “Heavenly”. This was a fitting and perfect name for a child born at 22 weeks weighing one pound, one ounce.
About a month ago, Corinna began experiencing contractions at 22 weeks in her pregnancy. Her husband Kemi rushed her to the hospital where doctors informed them the baby was coming. Doctors tried tactics to delay the labor hoping to extend delivery to 24 weeks where babies are more able to survive outside the womb. Celeste was eager and nothing could stop her. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/04/baby-celeste-only-lived-22-weeks-but-her-impact-will-last-a-lifetime/
