I want to start by saying this is not a statement of any kind going any direction in the prolife pro choice issue. It is a thankyou.
I'm not sure who all reads these blogs. I'm new to this, but I guess its mostly college students. So really the person I want to thank probably won't even read this, but this is the best way I know to thank her; to tell others what she did for me. She gave me life. I do not know my mother and probably never will. My mother was sixteen when she had me, she had brown hair, and played the piano. Until a while ago that was all I knew. Them my adoptive mom gave me a letter from her. Here is her story: When she found out she was pregnant she told her parents and was kicked out of her house. For some reason she happened to walk into a church (as far as I know she had no religious background and wasn't a Christian). Everyone there was nice, asked how she was doing and she told them. This particular church had an outreach program for young unwed mothers. They took her in, gave her a place to live and a new home. More than that they shared their faith with her, not only in words but in actions, and they worked with her and her parents to reconcile their broken relationship. While she was living with the family she became a Christian and shortly after she had me she moved back in with her parents and I was adopted by wonderful parents. I would not trade them for the world.
So the point, for all those who have given up children for adoption as an adopted child I thank you.I don't pretend to know what you went through; I know it wasn't easy so I thank you.
Wow. I am not trying to be rteally nosy, but since Im you are on the subject, are you going to write her? Maybe meet her?
I thought about it. I really would like to, just to hear the rest of her testimony and stuff, but I live in another state now and my parents have told me all they know too. So I dont really know how I would get ahold of her. Also, although it would be really cool its also very scary. so i dunno. I don't mind the question though, its no problem
maybe you could contact the adoption agency. They have to keep track of that stuff. I dont know my real dad, and I want to find him, but since I was not adopted I cant, and that is really disappointing
Ok well what I think you should do is try to get in touch with her after all you only have one mother, and don’t think twice about it...without her you would not be in this world today...so I would tell her how you feel in person I mean you never know what she was going through at the time. And I know that this wasn’t about the question but there some words of wisdom.
