What does it take to turn an act of evil into an act of love? A college junior who became pregnant from rape drew on faith to acknowledge the value of the innocent human growing inside her womb and made a life-giving decision, choosing adoption over abortion. And to give her child the “gift of faith,” the young mom-to-be chose a family that had a strong relationship with God.
The daughter of a lawyer and a stay-at-home mom, Kathleen Folan grew up in Spokane, Washington, the oldest of four siblings raised devout Catholic. Today, she is the director of family and youth ministries at St. Dominic’s Catholic Church in San Francisco, California, where she lives with her husband and three children.
