Waterleaf September Miracle of the Month:
Waterleaf “Miracle of the Month” for September 2017.
“Monica” walked tearfully in to Waterleaf. A senior in high school, she had taken three positive pregnancy tests at home. She shared that she had taken the morning after pill two weeks prior and was very worried about telling her parents as they didn’t even know about her boyfriend. The Waterleaf team counseled Monica about her options including adoption and resources we could provide should she parent her baby. Additionally, she received information to assist with telling her mother and discussed the many resources available to teens throughout pregnancy and beyond. Monica agreed to return for an ultrasound and brought her boyfriend to that appointment. They seemed very moved by the images, and her boyfriend appeared very supportive. However, she still had not told her parents about her pregnancy thus she was still at risk for abortion. The Waterleaf team followed up with Monica consistently and a month later, she shared the news with her mother. With love and support, her mom made a doctor’s appointment for Monica. Her dedicated client advocate reached out throughout her pregnancy and offered referrals and support. Monica happily reported the birth of a healthy baby girl in August!
