The State of Ohio’s second in command is making sure constituents understand that pregnancy help matters. Lt. Governor Jon Husted understands the significance of support for women in unplanned pregnancies. Husted himself is a product of an unplanned pregnancy.
During National Adoption Month, Husted made a tour of various centers and agencies that support families in need.

Husted shared his story on the website Groundwork Ohio, which works “To champion high-quality early learning and healthy development strategies from the prenatal period to age five, that lay a strong foundation for Ohio kids, families, and communities.”
Husted shared how he was born to a woman who was recently widowed and already had a three-year-old and 18 month-old sons. She became pregnant with another man’s baby. This man wanted her to terminate the pregnancy. His birth mother chose instead to pursue an adoptive home for her son. Husted was in foster care in his infancy and was eventually adopted.
Husted also shared a link to his story on Twitter/X in a post honoring National Adoption Month.
Husted visited several pregnancy centers and adoption agencies in November.
He posted about his visits on the Twitter/X platform.
Husted visited Pregnancy Resource Center of Athens County with his wife Tina.
On X he posted, “If you think you’re alone – you’re not. Resource centers are available across #Ohio to help you navigate this time in your life.”
Another stop was made to Voice of Hope Pregnancy and Family Center.
Tweet This: If you think you’re alone – you’re not. Resource centers are available to help you navigate this time in your life with unplanned pregnancy.
Husted posted, “Community-based centers like Voice of Hope play an essential role in helping families make informed, life-affirming choices. #adoption #family.”
Husted was pictured communicating with an infant at Bellefaire Jewish Children’s Bureau.
He posted, “The child service agency has (more than) 25 programs and serves (more than) 30,000 youth and their families yearly.”
He and Second Lady Tina Husted speak on video in one of the posts, sharing his story and encouraging Ohioans to consider adopting children who need homes.
Husted promotes the statewide adoption/foster and kinship program in Ohio as he speaks to various platforms.
Husted is openly pro-life and took part in a roundtable in August with Ohio Right to Life and the leadership of the Ohio Pregnancy Coalition Task Force. In it, he discussed the importance of bringing awareness to pregnancy centers and their resources with the participants.
Husted previously served as Ohio’s secretary of state. His term as Lt. Governor ends in 2027.
