Life Beyond Abortion

Adopting an Abortion Survivor


Listen Later

Join Melissa Ohden, abortion survivor and host of Life Beyond Abortion, as she talks with Thea Berry, outreach coordinator at the Abortion Survivors Network. Thea shares her family’s journey adopting their son Milo, who survived two failed chemical abortions. Learning of his survival in the NICU, Thea faced the weight of his story and found community through ASN. From isolation to advocacy, she now supports survivors, adoptive families, and birth parents, emphasizing the humanity of the unborn and the power of open adoption. Thea offers hope: Milo lived, proving life’s resilience. Connect with her at abortionsurvivors.org or via social media for adoption and survivor resources.
