I\u2019m forever grateful to my birth mother, who I have never met, for making this brave choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a birth mom, this touched me in many ways,\u201d wrote another. \u201cThe life I gave my son is exactly the life I wanted him to live. Seeing him living his best life reassures me that choosing life and seeing him was the best choice ever. Every woman needs to know that an unplanned pregnancy is not the end and adoption is an option. It is not giving up. It is a sacrificial decision totally motivated by [love].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trisha White Priebe, an author and adoptee herself, posted on her own Instagram account she hopes the ad gave hope to the women who viewed it.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the Super Bowl, she wrote, \u201cSo my hope for Sunday is simple: That somewhere, a woman with a racing heart and an uncertain future feels less alone than she did five minutes before [the commercial aired]. Because sometimes the smallest shift in loneliness makes room for hope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMothers deserve to know they have options,\u201d Priebe added. \u201cAnd children deserve futures shaped by love, stability, and support \u2014 not left to the mercy of circumstance.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Bomberger, who was conceived in rape and later adopted, told Fox News he felt the ad was \u201cawesome\u201d for celebrating \u201cthe beauty and self-sacrificial love of adoption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t even recall a time there\u2019s ever been an ad that promotes adoption during the Super Bowl, so this is great,\u201d he said, pointing to data showing\u00a0fewer than 2% of women\u00a0facing unplanned pregnancies \u201cchoose the loving plan of adoption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ad, he noted, highlights adoption is \u201cseldomly chosen\u201d over abortion.<\/p>\n<p>NBC, which aired the Super Bowl, sold out of ad inventory at an average of $8 million per 30-second spot, with some commercials costing more than $10 million each,\u00a0according to CNBC.
