In this Faith in Life LifeBeat feature, Ken Stults sits down with Terri Marcroft to discuss adoption and supporting women in unplanned pregnancies. Terri Marcroft is the adoptive mom of a 23-year old young woman who is the love of her life. Terri·s all-time favorite action hero is her daughter·s birthmother, who made an adoption plan while she was a senior in high school. In 2008 Terri identified the need to more actively suggest adoption: today <1% of young US women facing unplanned pregnancy choose adoption for their babies, while there are about two million couples in the US hoping to adopt. After ten years of parenting, and 25 in high tech marketing, she founded UnplannedGood.org in 2010. Terri leads the Unplanned Good efforts to encourage people to consider making an adoption plan when facing an unwanted pregnancy. She hopes to spread the word that adoption can be a blessing for all involved.
