It offers a variety of perspectives on coping with the sometimes difficult dilemma, but can also provide hope when sharing stories of triumph and victory. We’d love for you to share your own story with others on our blog and your social media pages by using the #mylullaby.

I was 16 when I found out I was pregnant. It was mind-blowing! When I finally found the courage to tell my parents, they were even more shocked than me. I’m not quite sure how or why I decided to keep the baby. But I know those weeks I spent deciding were awful. But, once I decided, I put my heart and soul into making something good of my decision.
I was lucky because I have the best parents and most awesome best friends in the world. My pregnancy was complicated. But a short time after my 17th birthday, I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl.
Now I look back on the whole thing, and I wonder where I got the strength to do it. But I couldn’t have done it alone.

I was in my first year of college seeking a Communication degree at a University. First, one in my family to go to college. Then one day, I did not feel well. I felt a little off for a couple of weeks but thought it was stress and exhaustion. When I suddenly realized my period was a week late, I bought a test, and as the blue lines appeared in front of me, I was thrown into an immediate state of panic. I was pregnant!
Although I was only 19, this was my story, this was our baby, and I had to do whatever I could to make sure we were okay.
Thanks to an organization like The Lullaby House, our little family has been healthy and happy for nearly four years now.

This is my birth story. Age Fifteen with twins. It was the night of my year 10 formal. I went with my boyfriend, Cameron, of 3 years. We had a perfect and fun night and decided to sleep together later that night. I had missed a period but didn’t think much of it. I was pregnant with twins!
Since the birth of my beautiful girls, I went to university, married Cameron, and moved from Australia to Los Angeles. I am currently pregnant with my first son.

I just love the lullaby house and everything they do for the community. I wish I would of known about them when I had my 1st child, we had to choose between buying him diapers, groceries or put gas in the car. They have really eased a lot of stress in our family. They have helped me with diapers wipes and clothing for my kids and even myself. It’s not a job for them they see it their mission to get personal with the clients making sure they can help in every way possible. They are so valuable to our community and no other organization compares to them. I can’t thank them enough for all they have done for us especially thru this pandemic where we have experienced more hardships. The love they do this with inspired me to also try to help in anyway I can. Volunteering with them makes me so happy and I hope one day I can show them how grateful I am for them.

Lullaby house is an organization that I appreciate very much because since I took the lessons with them I have learned a lot about life especially when it comes to the relationships between parents and children. Being a citizen of Africa, cultures and education are too different, here we pay a lot of attention to children, which is not always the case in my home country. So I have the opportunity and the privilege to see things automatically.
I have the privilege of exercising it on my baby. For me you all are my second family, greetings to all the members for the attention and gifts that you bring me to my baby and I just thank you and move on.
