 Hi all I have a prayer request it is not for me but for my son’s girlfriend.  You see she is pregnant and her parents are pressuring her to terminate the pregnancy, one reason is because she was born with mild retardation!  She appears find to me but this is what her mother has told me.  I can see her parents being scared to death about it I am praying every day the baby will be healthy.  I am pro-life but I have not said anything to her to encourage her or discourage her it is not my place.  It is her choice what to do, she is 27 years old and they shelter her like she is a child.  My kids have disabilities as well but I have tried to let the make their own choices.  Her parents feel that we are happy with the news and we have brain washed her.  My Son wanted to marry her, so he bought her a ring they were just getting use to that when news of her pregnancy came to light.  She was supposed to have an operation for gall stones when the lab test came back they could not operate so she has to suffer though that as well.  Anyway the parents ask him to wait one year he said Ok 1 year.   They wanted her to marry in a Catholic Church he said no problem I will go through the classes , now they want to know if the baby can be baptized Catholic he said sure, they said the baby has to be bilingo my son said of course.  They have conservatorship over her and I don’t think they ever intended for her to marry period.  They have kicked her out of the house and given her two weeks to find a place to live but they told her she can not live here.

Please pray for the family for guidance and wisdom, and for peace with my son’s girlfriend so she is not so stressed out.

Thanks,

Cindy
