My Adoption Story

Adoption is truly amazing and has been such a blessing in my life and in the lives of so many that i love. I wouldn't take back this experience for anything! i want the world to know how great it can be- for everyone involved - especially the birthmother, so here is my story...

Hi, I loved this video it is so beautiful and it made me cry. I work for an adoption agency and respect any woman who knows that adoption is best for her child and can make that decision. I know it is a hard one to make. I would love to share this video with our birth mothers and our adoptive families.

Thank you for posting this and God bless you.

@BabyGirlGoddess

no one is asking you to do it, thank goodness- there are enough 'depressed as hell' people walking among us!

it is indeed a choice that not all choose to make.

There is nothing beautiful in mothers gibing up their children!!! Very sad!

[deshalan]

@smelaia2 giving up in life is indeed very sad. i didn't give him up or give him away, i gave him MORE. When you love someone that much, you will sacrifice anything so that they will have everything! one of my favorite quotes: "loving someone is wanting the best for them, whether that includes you or not." Thanks to open adoption i am included in his life, so everybody 'wins'!

I was adopted long ago. You are a great person to do that which you could to help your little one.

And eventually we are all sealed as one family, all as children of our Heavenly Father. So it all works out. :)

Great video... although I started crying at 34 seconds and couldn't watch any more.

:D

Your love and bravery and courage overwhelmed me. So... good for you!

Thanks for setting a great example for so many people. All the best to you!

Oh my goodness. Thank you for sharing your story- absolutely beautiful. I'm so impressed by your decision and I hope that your beautiful child grows up to be a beautiful person!

I've been interested in peoples' stories of adoption ever since I read "Children of the Manse" by Lewis Luchs. It's a story of abused children who are adopted, which is obviously different than your case, but it's a beautiful story nonetheless.

Sorry if you already answered but may I ask why you chose adoption versus keeping the baby? I'm not judging I'm just wondering :)

[marajade6]

Thank you for posting this, it's beautiful. I'm a birthmother myself, I placed a little over seven months ago. And while it's hard, I'm glad to see that someone else has done it too. Sometimes it's easy to forget we're not alone

[Morte2003]

I admire you

[sprinklefriend]

@brn2tch76 are you parents yet?

[liveloveplayohlala]

so beautiful! it's nice to see adoption stories, it inspires young adults or should inspire them to make the choice of adoption

[justusgirls1000]
