I come from a very religious family, and I am unwed and 3 months pregnant. How can I convince my parents that this truely is part of God's plan and can be a blessing? I am 24 years old (so no, not a teenage pregnancy). And they are convinced that my life is ruined, which only saddens me that they can't share in the beauty of new life. I understand their concerns and struggled through many of the same doubts, but once I overcame all of that I have a peace about the whole situation. Everyday I see the disappointment in their eyes. Today they even asked me how they can get over this phase of disappointment and start celebrating with me because they just don't feel it in their hearts. This is why I feel us Christians are given such a bad name. We can't even support our own families in hard times, how are we expected to help others?
