Ryan was adopted as a baby and grew up in a loving, multi-racial family in Pennsylvania.

Rachel MacKenzie, is one of the most effective and active pro-life campaigners in Britain. She courageously shares her personal testimony about the two abortions she had and her search for hope and healing afterwards. In January 2020, Calthorpe Clinic in Birmingham, England’s oldest abortion clinic closed after 50 years. Rachel, who had one of her abortions at this clinic, prayed and worked hard for this day to arrive. She also runs a branch of ‘Rachel’s Vineyard’ in the Midlands area for women who regret their abortions and are seeking healing.
