Raped by her abusive boyfriend after saying she wanted to abstain from sex before marriage, a North Dakota college student found out she was pregnant and made a choice that would change her life: her baby’s worth had nothing to do with the circumstances of his conception, and she would not abort him.
Robyn McLean, 34, was born in the Philippines and later adopted by a pastor and his wife from Lakeside, Oregon, where she grew up at their parsonage. She ended up in an abusive relationship and gave birth to her first child, a son, Adriel Jaiden, known as AJ, who is now a smart, spunky 12-year-old. And fortunately, AJ’s abusive birth father, Tim—a pseudonym—is no longer in their lives.
