My name is Richard Perea and I regret Lost Fatherhood.
At first I did not feel I should wear this pin (Regret Lost Fatherhood) or tote this sign (Lost Fatherhood)! I mean...why should I? I didn’t have the abortion! I didn’t tell HER to have one!
I wanted to have a baby! I was told that she had a miscarriage. My baby was gone!
Four years later, the truth was revealed. She made a choice and she chose DEATH! I was lied to. I felt betrayed. I was torn.How could I love this woman who KILLED my baby! The truth was…I couldn’t!!
We tried to make it work, but every time we fought, I would call her names like, Baby Killer or Murderer! Our relationship ended. I withdrew from life and became depressed.
One year later, I attended a Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat and through that retreat, God showed me Love, Compassion and Forgiveness. And most importantly… I realized my role in this. I got her pregnant out of wedlock!
I stand here today, with Her, Tanya (my fiance) ...the love of my life, and together we are Silent No More!
