There is choice.................

There is choice in adoption…………..
I don’t often get really emotional over things. I try to keep that “in line“, so to speak. I mean, I love to make people laugh, and I am really sarcastic. But, cry and break down, well…………. Not too often. As with any Mom, I have a soft spot when it comes to my kids. They have made me the woman I am today. My heart beats fast when they are hurt, I am emotionally crushed when other kids are “mean” to them, I am filled with elated joy when they have accomplishments, I feel pure peace stroking their heads and cuddling. As many of you know my husband and I were blessed 3 times through adoption. Today in the mail was a bulletin from the adoption agency. Inside my husband found a poem from one of our children’s birthmothers. It goes as follows :
“A sweet child- all alone.
You come to him with a smile.
You take the time to clean his knee.
And when he cries, you wipe his tears, and he smiles.
A Mom- all alone, and so scared. She doesn’t know what to do. Her tears are welling in her eyes. She fears she won’t go through. The woman she meets is as sweet as can be. But, is anyone good enough for her baby? Five years later, I watch you at the park. You are the most beautiful child I have ever seen. I turn around and realize, I made the right choice. You deserve the best, and that is what you have.”

I am blessed beyond measure. I am grateful for our birthmothers choice.

God is GOOD, Life is HARD, I am BLESSED,
