We are a team…
…of masters level social workers, professional sonographers, teachers, and parents–from various faiths and backgrounds–who have a passion for sharing the gift of life and the beauty of the pre-born person with our youth. With the help of pregnant volunteers, this is made possible through live ultrasound technology.

Corey married his wife, Kristy, had three children, then had a vasectomy. Corey shares how through prayer, God showed him that this was not God’s plan for their marriage. The Osborn’s courageously had a vasectomy reversal, gave birth to another child, fostered seven children, adopted one and will be adopting another child this year.
