EAST LANSING, MI — MSU Students for Life held an incredibly successful event this evening focused on the issue of adoption. Pro-life advocates Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra shared their experience with teen pregnancy. The young couple’s story has been featured on MTV’s popular “Teen Mom” and “16 and Pregnant” reality television programs.
Over 530 college students gathered on a cold Thursday evening – just a week from final exams and the semester’s end. Some eager attendees arrived hours early to guarantee a seat. The lecture hall reached a capacity crowd well in advance of the first speaker introduction.
“It has been amazing to know we [have] inspired others to choose adoption,” said Tyler. Meanwhile, Catelynn “want[s] a big family” with “at least four kids.”
Bethany Christian Services facilitated the fall campus tour. The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, Central Michigan University and Grand Valley State University also served as hosts. Around 3,000 college students throughout the Great Lakes State alone were exposed to the pro-adoption message.
