A behind-the-scenes look at the heroes at pregnancy help centersĀ

Legend and Wysdom are quite a pair. I see their faces looking up at me from the front page of the York, Pennsylvania edition of CareLine, a publication of the Women’s Care Center.

These precious twins nearly did not make it into the world. When she found out she was pregnant, their mother Krystina initially Googled, ā€œWhere to get an abortion.ā€

She goes on to say, ā€œI was supposed to go to the abortion clinic. But after I visited Women’s Care Center, I never went. You were so wonderful.

ā€œWhen I found out I was having twins, I was even more worried than before. I’d just gone through a tragedy (the death of her boyfriend). I was not prepared.ā€

But, through a gradual process, and with the support that the pregnancy resource center provided, Krystina found the courage and strength to go on.

ā€œMy mind didn’t change overnight. But over the weeks, I started to realize I could do it. I kept coming back to Women’s Care Center. You were always here for me.ā€

The fact is, Krystina has found a new calling in serving as a mother to her terrific twosome.

ā€œI love my babies! Even though they are twins, they are opposites. He’s outgoing, and she’s sassy!ā€

The story of Legend and Wysdom shows what miracles can happen when a group of committed, caring people reach out to a pregnant woman facing difficult circumstances. The chain reaction of love saved the lives of these twins—and saved their mother the tragic heartache of abortion.Ā 

The behind-the-scenes heroes at pregnancy help centers are standing in the gap for women who may have been abandoned by boyfriends, husbands, even mothers and fathers. They provide a lifeline to women who may feel isolated, lonely, and on the brink of despair.Ā 

Women like Krystina, who now says, ā€œI am so happy about my decision. Absolutely, absolutely!ā€
