Isabella was in a stable relationship with her boyfriend, and they were both living at her parents’ house in a small annex that they had renovated. The relationship with her parents was tense, and when she became pregnant, they pushed her to have an abortion, even though she wanted the child. Here are her own words, from a letter she sent us:

“I believe in miracles! God has heard my prayers! Before getting pregnant, I wished for a little girl who would resemble both me and my husband in every detail. To have curly hair like mine, dark blonde, cheerful eyes like Mihai’s, to be full of life, and to bear the name Melisa (which in Greek means “little bee”).

The miracle is right here, beside me! She is exactly as I wished her to be! More than that: every 10 minutes she tells me, “Mom, I love you so much!”

But my wish did not come true so easily. When I was pregnant, my parents pushed me to have an abortion. Even my boyfriend wanted to convince me of this, seeing how much I was suffering because of them. An acquaintance, seeing the situation I was in, gave me the phone number of Dr. Cristina Valea, assuring me that everything would be fine. That is how I came to Pro Vita Medica, where I received what I was missing: understanding, support, love, and help. In the meantime, I married my boyfriend and we are now a happy family. Every time I see you again, you give me the fresh air I longed for and so deeply needed. I do not regret for a single moment that I chose to move forward; on the contrary, I feel like the luckiest person.

I love you with all my heart!”
