Pro-life father shares bold, hopeful message: 'I was conceived in rape, adopted in love'
Fox News
Ryan Bomberger of The Radiance Foundation in Virginia appreciates the sacredness of life at every stage — and this January, he shares a personal message of compassion and care.
Bomberger, who is adopted, praised the parents who took him into their home years ago and embraced him as their own. "My mom and my dad are the most amazing people I’ve known," he said. "The circumstances of our conception don’t define the condition of our worth."
He added that his "birth mom experienced the horror and violence of rape" — and that he, Bomberger, is the product of that rape. He is grateful, he said, to have been given the chance at life and to have been welcomed into a loving, compassionate family that includes twelve siblings, nine of whom were adopted from neglectful, abusive, or poverty-ridden situations.
"None of us would've been better off dead," he said. "We're better off loved."
