Hosea 10:12
If you plant goodness, you will harvest faithful love. Plow your ground, and you will harvest with the Lord. He will come, and he will make goodness fall on you like rain.
“Anything you want in love you should have. If you want someone to send you flowers just because it’s Tuesday, you should have that. If you want someone to write you love letters, you should have that. If you want someone who looks at you like the sun rises and sets because of you, you should have that. In life, we often have to settle for “okay” or “good enough”, love should not be one of those things.”

This time around I will have everything I deserve.
Embrace Grace is a church-based organization that allows single mothers to prepare for new lives with their babies and seek support among fellow women. There are several participating churches with this program in both GA and AL. https://embracegrace.com/find-a-group/find-a-group/
Birthright International is a secular branch of pregnancy resource centers who offer consultation services, referrals for aid and other forms of help for free, and I found several in GA and AL. They have a 24/7 crisis hotline and search function for finding centers in your area on their front page. https://birthright.org/
Sista Midwife is a black birth advocacy group that catalogues practicing midwives, doulas, and wellness practitioners of color around the US. There were PAGES of results for GA and AL. Because medical treatment of black mothers is poor especially in the south, any of these ladies can help you get the care you need and also help you find needed resources. https://www.sistamidwife.com/
Birth Without Fear is a fantastic all around birth community, made up of women from all backgrounds and challenges. They provide positive birth stories, share support and advice, and there are several support groups in Facebook as well. They have a website (birthwithoutfearblog.com) and also have an active public page on Facebook.
Get Your Care has a fantastic US map of where to find federally qualified health clinics and other places for women in crisis pregnancies. You can check them out here: getyourcare.org
And feel free to search this blog as well, with all kinds of informational and resource-based posts for people wanting to know their options and rights as parents.
Some of these resources are pro-life, others are not. But all of them have a passion for helping women and their children find the care and support that they need. If this makes you angry, feel free to scroll on and make your own post about it. 👍🏼
