Building Arizona FamiliesFrom the Desk of Kelly Rourke-Scarry, MSW

Dear Friend,

On behalf of Building Arizona Families, we wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas!  It’s such a joyful time of year, and despite the many challenges, we stop and celebrate what matters most.  We shop for gifts that express the love we have for our families and friends.  It can be such a busy time, but Christmas always makes me pause… and the reality hits me afresh that my mother chose to give me the most incredible gift – the opportunity to live.

It makes me more deeply understand that life is the greatest gift a mother can give a child – and a gift that every unborn baby deserves. It makes me renew my efforts to reaching as many pregnant women in crisis as possible.  Every precious unborn baby should have the opportunity to live, love, and be loved, just as I have been blessed to experience life and love. 

As we pause to celebrate with those we love, we experience the power of love.  Take love for our children, for example. It is one of the strongest loves we will experience in this life.  It’s what makes parents so fiercely protective, doing everything possible to keep their children safe from harm, and providing every opportunity to learn, grow, and become wonderful adults.

Even though I was not their biological daughter, my adoptive family gave me that kind of unconditional, safe, and deep love. Because of their selflessness, I have become someone who wants to make a difference, to help other unborn babies live and love. I’ve also experienced deep love and gratitude for my biological mother, Donna K. Evans, a scared, pregnant teenager without support. She courageously chose to go through the challenges of being pregnant in high school and chose adoption.  She wanted the stable, prosperous future for me that she was unable to provide. It’s so personal for me.  As I share more of my story, I hope it helps you embrace just how powerful a gift you can share with pregnant women in crisis who feel trapped and believe their only choice is abortion.

We need to reach as many pregnant women in crisis as possible.  They need to know that they can choose life for their baby.  They need to know that we will help them with their housing, food, clothing, counseling, healthcare, transportation, and sometimes even a cell phone. They need to know that we make it possible for them to give their baby the greatest gift a parent can give – life!  We need to raise $16,071 to double our outreach.  This will allow us to reach 150 women experiencing a crisis pregnancy.

It only costs us $107.14 to reach a pregnant woman in crisis.  When she chooses life for her baby, she can also change her life for the better through our Donna K. Evans Foundation aftercare program. When she chooses to place her baby for adoption, she provides a loving, stable future for her baby like I was given.  And, when she chooses adoption, an adoptive family’s aching hearts and arms are filled with the precious baby who will bless everyone their little life touches.

We know you can’t put a price tag on a baby’s life!  But, we know that $107.14 can help us save one baby’s life.  Our December goal is 150 women choosing life for their babies. Just think – 150 babies given the opportunity to live, to breathe, laugh, and love.  Can you help us save one baby?  Two babies?  Please be as generous as you can.

Thank you for being in the struggle with us to save the lives of unborn babies.

BIRTH MOTHER ADOPTION STORIES

MEET MARY

Adoption, Building Arizona Families, Donna K Evans Foundation

Mary’s life was going down the drain fast.  She was really struggling and believed it wasn’t fair to bring her baby girl into the world.  Mary didn’t want her baby to experience the same struggles Mary was facing.  After talking to Building Arizona Families, she also became convinced that her baby deserved to live and enjoy a better life.

Now Mary tells other pregnant women struggling with crisis pregnancies that placing their babies through Building Arizona Families is the best choice.  She tells them that she chose a wonderful adoptive family for her baby, and she will have the kind of future Mary couldn’t provide while in crisis.  And all it took was  $107.14 to reach her – and now she is telling other pregnant women in crisis about the positive option of adoption so that more babies’ lives are saved!

Just think – $107.14 might be all it takes to give a pregnant woman in crisis the gift of hope, a precious newborn baby the gift of life, and an adoptive family the gift of love.

The need is so great.  Desperate women like Mary are searching right now for answers.  We need to make sure they discover the help we can give so that they choose life for their unborn child.  Please be as generous as you can, as there are so many women and unborn babies that need your help.  Every baby’s life matters!

UNDERSTANDING DESPERATION IN ADOPTION

Adoption, Building Arizona Families, Donna K Evans Foundation

 

Some women come into Building Arizona Families because they are pregnant, and many of these women have reached a point of desperation due to situations such as:

  1. Being homeless – scared to remain on the street due to being pregnant, and hungry and cold/hot
  2. The pregnancy may be the result of an act of prostitution/solicitation or they may be a victim of abuse.
  3. Feeling trapped in a domestically violent relationship and wanting to make sure that they don’t bring a baby into their turbulent world.
  4. Pregnant as a result of an affair and they don’t want their significant other to find out (he may be incarcerated) or together they may not want to raise the baby together since the baby was conceived in an affair.
  5. Divorcing their spouse and they do not want to raise a baby under these circumstances.
  6. Finding out that they are pregnant and choose not to have an abortion and/or they find out too late in their pregnancy.  Maybe they don’t believe in abortion or cannot afford it?

Learn more about desperation,  how it manifests, and how it can impact adoption.  Tune in!
