Almost 16 years ago, a young lady who was in a situation similar to yours decided she would choose adoption. I thank her and the great Lord above that she did. My son will turn 16 next month. He is the light of my life. I know you can't see me, but my emotions and tears right now are so overwhelming. I love him more than my own life, he is everything to me.
I know it had to be hard for her, but I know if she could see my son, she would think he was a fine, compassionate, smart young man. I love her for what she was able to do so that I could become a mother. If it wasn't for her, I don't know where I'd be. I had always wanted children, at least 5 and when I found out I couldn't have any, I was crushed beyond belief.
Adoption is a very hard choice for someone so young. It is so hard to see what may be best "down the road." You have to choose what is best for you and your baby.
I'm sorry to go on an on, I just wanted you to know the other side of the adoption choice.
I will be praying for you and your baby.....and wishing you all the best in whatever you decide. |
That touched me !! I'm adopted and can say this from your son's standpoint - He has a wonderful real mom in YOU.
Believe me when I say this ...many, if not most, of us adoptees look at our biological moms as someone who cared enough to say goodbye .....and our adoptive moms as our TRUE MOM. I know that's how I feel about mine and am sure your son must feel the same about you.....What a nice post that was and I didn't know that about you. Thank you for sharing....
My mom used to tell me a poem when I was a kid - all I can remember now is the one line...."You didn't Grow UNDER my heart - but in it." and I always felt so special.
Gorjess sweetie - there are so many people who WIN if you decide to let your baby go to a loving home - there really is ...you would have time to be a teen ....AND then, one day.... have a baby when the time is right.
