Quote From: lis190368Dear birth mothers, I was adopted at age 3 month into a loving family. Every year we celebrated my adoption day, which not only is very special when you are a child celebrating birthday, adoptionday and christmas ;-) but also ensured that I was always aware that I was adopted and most importantly that I was very special.
Like all little childen one day, I asked my mother "where do I come from? and she told me that a kind women had asked my parents if they would love and take care of her baby because she was unable herself and how happpily they say yes.
While I have no wish or need to make contact with my birth mother, I think of her as a brave and unselfish woman who had my best interest at heart.
I could so easily not have come into this world or have grown up in foster homes, had she not made the decision to put me up for adoption. For that I thank her.
Birth mother, though you may grive you also give the greatest gift.
Sincerely, Lis
I just wanted to reply because it's nice to hear from someone who was adopted. I actually don't grieve….I am so proud and pleased. I know what I did was right. I couldn't be more confident about what I did. I am glad to hear that your parents made your adoption apart of your life, I think it's important. I am always very happy reflecting on my adoption experience because it was an excellent life's lesson. I was drinking heavily, smoking, hanging out with the wrong crowd...etc. After I found out I was pregnant I immediately quit my old ways and repented. I am now a full-time college student, married to a wonderful man, living in
Europe
AND I go to church every week...I could go on but for a lack of space and attention from readers I will stop! I get updates about my birth daughter all the time...never once have I ever been concerned for her safety.
Not only did I give her a life she SOO well deserved but I saved her from a life of pain…(yes, she would have been perfectly fine living at home with my parents, family and I) but he threatened to be in MY life. She would have been passed from one household to the other and had the potential to have been molested, abused and neglected by the (what I like to call) “sperm donator”. I was not going to have that. The adoption almost didn’t go through which is why she was 3 months old when I placed her….but I had never been so delighted as when I was when the adoption went through. You can imagine the relief of placing her in the arms of the family I chose for her. She’s safe!
