There Is Someone Who Understands
As a client advocate at Alcove Health, a follow-up call with a client can be filled with joyous news or laden with the sadness that comes with the knowledge that a life will never be lived on earth. We often think the latter is associated with abortion. We also serve women who valiantly overcome tough odds and are looking forward to bringing life into the world.
This week during a quiet moment in the day I sat down to check in with our precious women. I called one of our carry-to-term clients, Maria, only to hear on the other end of the line a nervous “hello”. Her English was broken, but there was no mistaking the sound of fear and anguish in her voice.
Maria seemed to calm down as I shared that we have resources to help her work through the days to come. Someone who understands.

There is something incredibly special about newborn photo sessions—the tiny details, the soft snuggles, the quiet moments. But recently all of that was doubled when we captured these moments for a set of twin girls you helped this past year.
Today marks two years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ending the constitutional right to abortion. The National Right to Life estimates that up to 89,000 lives have been saved due to this ruling. Praise the Lord! And while we are grateful for each of these precious lives saved, we cannot relax in our fight for life.

There’s nothing more heartwarming than the bond between a mother and her baby. These photos capture the quiet joy, tender snuggles, and playful giggles that fill their days. From sweet cuddles to shared smiles, every moment is a reminder of just how powerful and beautiful that connection is.
