Consider the story of Mitch, one of our dedicated mentors at Positive Options. In high school, Mitch and his girlfriend faced an unplanned pregnancy. Overwhelmed by fear and focused on the dreams he thought he would lose—college, a career, freedom—Mitch made the painful decision to choose abortion. For years, he buried the grief and regret that followed. Then, in an unexpected moment of reflection, Mitch spoke with a high school friend who had also faced an unplanned pregnancy—but had chosen life. When Mitch asked what his friend had lost, the response stunned him: “I didn’t lose anything. I became a father. I gained a child who later became an adult, a wife, and a mother, bringing me joy beyond measure.” That conversation shifted something deep in Mitch’s heart. Today, he uses his own story to walk alongside men and women facing similar crossroads. As a mentor, he speaks with compassion and honesty, helping clients process their emotions and understand their choices. Mitch also shares his testimony in churches and prisons, offering hope, healing, and a powerful reminder that our past does not define our purpose. You can watch Mitch’s full story and see how redemption is at work through his life.
