Dr. Rollins,
this is Ruth Stoops.

:29:10
She's about
8 weeks pregnant.

:29:11
And she wants to know
more about her child.

:29:13
Oh, fine, fine.
:29:15
Ruth...
:29:16
Yes.
:29:17
Here, let me show you
something.

:29:21
Ruth, your baby is already
:29:25
well into its journey
in life.

:29:27
At 10 weeks, the baby
is just about this size.

:29:31
The head and the feet and
the hands are all fully formed.

:29:34
Your baby has a heartbeat.
:29:37
And you know something,
Ruth?

:29:39
Some studies have even
shown brain activity.

:29:41
Now, isn't that remarkable,
:29:43
that even
at such an early stage,

:29:45
your baby is made
in God's image?

:29:48
Here.
:29:49
I want you to hold it.
:29:53
Yes.
:30:00
Wow. It's got a little thing.
:30:03
Well, of course it does.
:30:04
That's because
it's a little boy baby.

:30:06
Now,
when you have your baby,

:30:08
what would you like to have?
:30:10
Would you like to have
a little boy or a little girl?

:30:12
What do you...
What do you mean?

:30:14
Well,
we're just talking here.

:30:16
Let's say you decided
to have the child.

:30:19
Uh, would you like it to be
a little boy like this one?

:30:23
Maybe a girl.
:30:25
A girl.
:30:27
Yes, and what are we gonna
name this little pumpkin?

:30:30
Are we gonna call it,
uh, uh, Mary or...

:30:33
or Sally
or Susie or, uh...

:30:36
Tanya.
:30:37
Tanya!
:30:38
...Baby Tanya.
:30:41
But I can't have
a baby right now.

:30:43
I don't want another baby.
:30:45
Man, you don't understand.
:30:48
I'm in a really bad,
bad situation right now...

:30:51
I mean bad.
:30:52
We know it's hard, Ruth,
very hard.

:30:55
But you have to face
reality.

:30:57
If you feel as though
you can't raise Tanya,
