To Keera With Love: Abortion, Adoption, or Keeping the Baby
(Pregnant and single, Kalya M. Becker was luckier than man...)
Pregnant and single, Kalya M. Becker was luckier than many teenagers. She had the support of her family and a group of good friends to help her through her pregnancy. When she was a senior at a Catholic high school, she learned she was going to have a baby. The father, hundreds of miles away at a military base, said, "Get an abortion. It's the only answer." To Keera With Love is the dramatic story of one teen's journey from early childhood in a healthy, happy and protected home environment to the harsh reality of becoming a mother too soon. Kayla Becker and her two brothers, raised by a divorced mother, a successful regional media broadcaster, learned that a family can stick together and deal with a personal crisis productively.To Keera With Love is a story of courage and of pain many teen mothers go through while making live decisions for herself and her child.
