Her choice to love her children and bring them into the world is something she has never regretted.

She suffers from episodes of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and regret for believing someone she did not know. Sam is still on a difficult path to healing. Many people have been deeply touched by the events, and the story continues to unfold. His identical brother and his sister are now three-and-a-half and thriving. Sadly, Ellis unexpectedly passed away 17 days after birth. Because the babies arrived so prematurely, their adoptive parents received triplets on the due date of the babies they had lost to miscarriage. Their adoptive mother was present at their birth and Sam was able to witness how her courageous choice for Life made a couple a family. Sam went in to labor prematurely at 26 weeks, and all three babies, Ellis, Elizabeth, and Eli weighed less than two pounds at birth. She made a photo album of sonogram pictures and presented the images to the adoptive parents saying, “Here, these are your babies.” Discovering that the adoptive parents had lost triplets confirmed for Sam that this was God’s plan. Sam chose to place her three precious babies in the loving adoptive home of that couple, though she did not know at the time about the triplets they had lost. After a long and difficult journey, they were overjoyed to be expecting triplets, but tragically lost the three babies to miscarriage. While Sam had been enslaved in the human trafficking ring, a couple in her home town struggled with infertility. When they performed the sonogram and discovered twins, Michelle says Sam’s eyes “immediately lit up” and she exclaimed with a smile, “Two babies!” Two weeks later, Sam and her mother had another surprise when they discovered at the ultrasound in her doctor’s office that there were not just twins, but triplets: identical boys and a girl. Michelle had told the volunteers at the center about the situation beforehand and the staff was very gentle. Once they returned to their hometown, Sam and her mom went to a local pregnancy resource center and discovered she was pregnant with twins. Sam was taken into police protection and reunited with her mother. The owners hid her when the pimp came looking for her, then kept her safe until police arrived. Sam’s mother, Michelle, says, “That’s the moment her courage overcame her fears.” She said simply, “Mom? Mom? It’s me, Sam….I want to come home.” Michelle quickly understood what was happening and urged her daughter to run while she had the chance. When Sam was left alone for a short time with a cell phone, she finally found the courage to call her mom. Sam knew there was Life inside her, and she knew at that moment that she had to run. When she discovered she was pregnant, the pimp told her she would be forced to undergo an abortion the next day.

For three months, Sam was enslaved by drugs, sexual assault, and violence. He promised Sam, “A couple days and you will return with enough money to buy a new car.” In reality, he had been paid by a pimp to lure her into a violent human-trafficking ring. A man she did not know well convinced her to travel from her small town to Dallas to make money in strip clubs. In 2013, three days after her 19 th birthday, Sam was tricked into taking a trip to Dallas that changed her life.
