She traveled to Oklahoma with a simple gift and a handwritten card: “Thank you for choosing life for me.” What Claire Colwell heard back from her birth mother, Tanya, turned that reunion into a revelation and rewrote everything Claire thought she knew about her own beginning. Claire is an adopted woman who later learns she survived a late-term abortion attempt, and that she was a twin whose sibling did not survive.
Claire also explains how she went from an introvert who barely knew what Planned Parenthood was to a national pro-life speaker, and what happens when abortion survivors tell their stories in public spaces, state hearings, and hostile crowds .Along the way, we talk about forgiveness, survivor’s guilt, and why post-abortion healing often starts when the silence finally breaks.
If you’re searching for a powerful abortion survivor story, insight into adoption reunion dynamics, or practical next steps for supporting women through pregnancy centers, adoption agencies, and church-based help, this conversation offers both honesty and direction.
