KAYLA’S STORY

Serenity Grace— Born January 2021

It was May of 2020, and the world was still on a Covid-19 lockdown when Kayla learned she was pregnant. Unfortunately, her new relationship became explosive and she had to end it. Now in her thirties, with two older children, the thought of starting over while alone as a single mother was overwhelming. Though she had always identified as a pro-life Christian, panic set in and she began to believe abortion was her only option.

Determined to try to “fix” her situation, Kayla began a chemical abortion. “I took it (the first abortion pill) in hand and for a few seconds I looked down at the pill,” she recalled. “The still small voice saying, ‘Kayla, what are you doing? Are you sure about this?’ That voice was drowned out by an ever-louder voice, she said, shouting, ‘It’s too late, you’re already here and you’ve already made your decision so follow through!’”

After swallowing the first abortion pill and being sent home with the second pill, Kayla felt “cold, numb, alone and afraid.” Less than 24-hours after, she cried out to God asking Him to save her baby.

Kayla searched the internet for help and found Heartbeat International`s Abortion Pill Reversal website. She was connected to a compassionate nurse who answered her questions and found a local provider to begin the progesterone reversal treatment to save her baby`s life. In addition, Kayla began a cross-country move from CA to FL the day after starting the abortion pill reversal regimen, and Heartbeat’s network was able to provide her with immediate help from coast to coast.

In January of 2021, she delivered a healthy baby girl named Serenity Grace. Kayla told Heartbeat, “I hope to encourage, even if just one woman, to trust God if you are, like I was, in a dark and scary place of an unwanted or unplanned pregnancy, because life is a gift. There is hope. Trust God! For His love is everlasting.”
