She Only Saw One Path Forward
When she came in, nervous and determined, it quickly became clear that we were not the clinic she was looking for. Pregnant and abandoned callously by a trusted, long-term boyfriend, she only saw one path forward—termination…
God Transformed Her Anxious Heart
As most of our patients are, this woman was facing an unexpected pregnancy. She said she planned to carry, but she was feeling anxious about telling the people in her life. Finances were another challenge, as she already had young children at home and was currently looking for work. Her advocate recounted to me what happened next…
Tears Fell as She Chose Life

An Unexpected Return
When I asked her about the father of the baby, I didn’t get a clear answer. She indicated that the news of a new baby may not be well received.

Her friend immediately told her about First Image’s clinic, “I went to this place when I was pregnant, and it was great!” her friend raved. Celeste, trusting her friend, made an appointment. Less than a week later, Celeste found herself walking through the doors of our Gresham clinic…
Angelina’s Story
Last year, Angelina had found herself unexpectedly pregnant with two young boys already in her care. She talked to her community, and her friends had recommended First Image’s clinic. She told me, “I was really happy to get in so quick and talk with someone. The person I talked to was really reassuring because I didn’t know what I wanted to do with the pregnancy yet”…
They Considered Abortion their Only Option
During our initial questionnaire, they revealed unanimously that they were intent on getting an abortion. Because of their living and perceived financial situation, they just didn’t see how they could take on a child right now. This wasn’t in their plan— they didn’t feel ready…
