Not flesh of my flesh,
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute
You didn't grow under my heart,
But in it!
Hello my name is Stacey and I am not a pregnant teenager, but I am writing my story because I see on this website the stories of abortion and adoption and pregnancy in the eyes of the mothers, and I wanted to give you an insight from perspective adopting parents.
I have a 5-year-old son and a 16-month-old daughter through our local children and youth services that I am in the process of hopefully adopting, and our lives have changed incredibly since these two blessings came into our lives. I could not imagine my life without them. As long as I can remember throughout my childhood all I ever dreamed of was becoming a mother. I haven't been able to biologically have my own children, but it surely has been a blessing to be able to be a mother and raise these two precious children and hopefully some day be blessed with more children to care for and raise.
I know that some people think negatively and look down on mothers who are giving their children up for adoption and I just wanted to reassure you that it is the farthest thing from negative and I personally thank all of you deciding to place your child up for adoption because without you I wouldn't be able to experience the joys of motherhood.
