Claire Culwell walked into the Coalition for Life wondering what the organisation provided. Five months later, she met her birth mother and learned a horrific secret that led to her personal ministry.
At just 13, Claire’s birth mother was forced to have an abortion. Tragically, the abortion took the life of her twin. Miraculously, Claire was “overlooked” and allowed to be born, then put up for adoption.
“My life is a testimony that there are wonderful alternatives to abortion (such as adoption in my case), and an accident/unwanted child still deserves life. . . even a child with disabilities.
“I was born 2 1/2 months early, weighed 3 lbs 2 oz, had dislocated hips and club feet. I had to wear casts on my feet, a harness and eventually a body cast. The abortion still affects me today. All that to say, life is still worth it”.
