With the March For Life right around the corner, we want to highlight the story of a young girl who decided to make the brave decision to continue her pregnancy and spend the remaining years of her childhood raising her own child, with the support of the baby's young daddy.

In a video on Tik Tok, Brooke Morton gives us a glimpse of her life from her pregnancy through to her baby daughter looking utterly adorable cuddling up to her mom and dad.

Fittingly, the video's backing vocals of "she could have chosen one quick fix, to get her out of one big mess ..." from RaeLynn's song "She Chose Me" highlight the courageous step Brooke took in choosing life for her baby in a world where youngsters, and adults alike, so often take what seems like the easy path.

Brooke is inspiring her many followers by posting regular photos of her daughter, Aloura Lavendar, announcing at her birth: "You are the biggest blessing I could ever ask for. Welcome to the world. Thank you, God."

Yet, what makes this story all the more beautiful is that Brooke has the support of the daddy who also stepped up and said "yes" to life. They seem to be enjoying family life together, with the three of them often posing for family snaps together such as this adorable family Christmas pic:

While parents wouldn't want their children to face the many challenges of parenthood at such a young age, it's inspiring to see Brooke and her young family thrive and experience the blessing of life.

Interesting story. However, let us close our eyes for a second and imagine this lovely young lady as person of color, living in an inner city neighborhood, without a supportive family structure. She has made a mistake and decided to live with the consequences. Would she have received such a glowing, inspiring piece or would we have judged and condemned her actions in our minds? Just asking….
