Book Cover & Preview Text
While my story is mostly about two teenage pregnancies: one baby I kept; the other I
gave up for adoption, I know that the world gives another option for women who
are faced with an unplanned pregnancy, and that is to abort their baby.
Abortion is so common amongst Christians and non-Christians, in church and out of
church, in young and older women, and in every ethnicity.
The clinics, media and even most doctors present abortion as the easiest and most
convenient option and may have told you about what was inside of you - that
it’s only a mass of cells; it’s not a living being…
They fail to relay what God says about what’s really on the inside of you and about
what an abortion really does to you and your unborn baby or about the emotional
and physical pain that you will endure throughout the process and possibly even
long after the procedure is over.
God says that He alone is the Giver of life, that He plans for each person long
before they are created in the womb.

About the Book
Kerry is raised in a Christian household, but when she finds out she’s pregnant, she doesn’t know what to do. She is an unmarried teen faced with some very difficult decisions. Either she could abort her baby or carry the child to term. If she does have the baby, will she keep it or give it up for adoption and if so, to whom?
Carried is the true story of Kerry’s not one but two teenage pregnancies and how God carried her through every step and every decision that ultimately saved the lives of her two unborn kids. She eventually walks through the valley of adoption to miraculous restoration.
God says that He alone is the Giver of life—that He makes plans for each person long before they are created in the womb. If you’re at the crossroads of deciding what to do with an unplanned or even planned pregnancy, know that Jesus loves you. He loves your baby and has a plan for you both. He can and will make a way for you. Ultimately, God carries us through this life if we let Him. He’s in every detail in every situation and in every way. When we let Him direct our lives, it is always for the better! He carried Kerry; he will carry you, too.
