Noelle’s Story: What It Was Like Considering Adoption while Pregnant

“I couldn’t even see past that day.  I couldn’t even imagine what my future would be like…

I thought either way, how can I do this?“

When all her options felt impossible, Noelle decided to place her child for adoption.

This is Noelle’s story and why she chose adoption.
