I Am Not an Exception, I Just Have an Exceptional Story!

In June of 2008, Kristi Hofferber decided it was time to ask her adoptive parents about her birth parents. What she found out about her birth parents was the biggest shock of her life!

What she learned was that her birth mother was repeatedly molested by her father and as a result, became pregnant with Kristi. Out of years of abuse and torture, Kristi was the only survivor of six children who had been conceived in incest. Kristi says, "I am not an exception, I just have an exceptional story!"

Kudos to you, Kristi, for the courage you show us in sharing your powerful story!

14 and Pregnant! Was Her Life Ruined?

This young girl was the typical, carefree child of the late 1960s and early 1970s. She, her siblings, and friends would run the neighborhood, playing and going from neighbor's house to neighbor's house, from early morning until the porch lights went on.

But then something changed...

Although this woman does not share much about her child conceived in rape, or even give us her name, she tells us her own powerful story of love, acceptance and LIFE!

"I Forgave My Rapist Father and Heard His Confession"

Father Luis Alfredo Leon Armijos, 41, was conceived in rape when his mother was just 13 years old. Years later, Father Luis received a call from his father who had to go through a surgery. “He was scared and told me: I want you to hear my confession,” said Leon.

This remarkable story of grace and forgiveness shows how God can take tragedy and sin and turn it into something good and beautiful. It is also yet another testimony to the intrinsic value of every human life, whether that person is someone conceived in rape or is the rapist himself!
