When Abbi becomes pregnant at 16, her devout parents hide her away at the Liberty Godparent Home, a little-known facility for pregnant teens on the campus of Liberty University. The Home says it helps girls decide what comes next – whether that’s parenting their babies or placing them for adoption. But inside the facility, the girls hear a different message: God wants their babies to go to more “deserving” mothers.
From Wondery, host T.J. Raphael tells a startling true story of young love, motherhood, coercion, and the growing reach of maternity homes in post-Roe America.
