&lt;p&gt;Crystal Willis-Blount conceived by rape at the age of 14. She felt alone with no choice but to abort. She was on the way to her second attempted appointment when she heard God speak to her, saying “Her blood is innocent. Take my hand.” Crystal eventually chose open-adoption, and met wonderful Adoptive Parents. These are cherished memories from her journey as a Birthmother, and the beautiful, precious blessing of her sweet daughter. The pain of rape and grief of placing a child is no easy task, but the beauty of her life made it all worthwhile.
