21 years ago, a pregnant woman, Carla, went to a doctor who told her that her baby would have mental illnesses and possibly Down Syndrome.

This doctor heavily encouraged her to have an abortion but she refused.

I will be a perfectly normal 21 year old in August.

My mom ALWAYS GMH.

it’s weird to say, but that was my mom’s exact situation when she was pregnant with me. she was at the age of 40 when she was pregnant with me. the doctors said there were going to be major complications, and there was a possiblity that i could have down syndrome. they wanted my mom to “terminate” the pregnancy, but with prayers and trusting in God, she continued with the pregnancy. 

thanks mom (:
