My Little Bean

by Kate

June 10, 2019

Nothing, and I mean nothing in this world could describe the joy I had knowing I was carrying a possible life in me. It was the possibility I had created with the one I love the most and I loved my Little Bean with all my being but it wasn’t meant to be, not right now where me and my partner’s financial situation couldn’t raise our love. I wasn’t ready for our child and I wasn’t expecting it to happen, my birth control had failed me. When after all these years it failed me in this moment. I found out I was pregnant at 5 weeks, I had my abortion at 8 weeks due to delay in scheduling. I just couldn’t keep you despite all my love I had. I had to further my career without stopping, I had to support myself without hindrance, I had to be able to move because my job needed me to. I always want you my Little Bean, just not now. Not in a world where you won’t know your mother but in one where you can sleep comfortably and know that your mom worked hard so you can be here with her. I chose an abortion not because you aren’t wanted but because you are in the future and my birth control failed.

Remember that our stories are ours to tell. We’d love to hear your story too!
