My son turned 10 in March & things are well, to say it politely, strainded. My adoptive family lives an hour & a half away & it seems like as the years have passed, it gets harder & harder for us to set up a time to get together. I haven't pushed to…

I guess I never thought of myself as a 'shuttle', but since placement (11 years ago) I cannot imagine him anywhere else - even with me! He just fits so well with his mom and dad and sister; it's just natural to me. The decision to place was somewhat…
i like 'a Mother for Chocco' for little ones
I don't know of any books but I have a good friend who used to say her tummy was broken so they were borrowing someone else's tummy to bring the baby. I'm not sure what your circumstances are, but hope that helps.
I don't think you were being harsh...lol..been on adoption baords for too long to think that was harsh!
I have been called a shuttle.. ( that was closer to the harsh mark!) I do think I was treated like a shuttle, but then again.. in my opinion, I…
My adoptive couple gave me one called "The Mulberry Bird". They also have one at home that they read to Savannah. It tells all sides of the adoption story. It's very sweet.
I aslo made her one for her birthday (one of the ones that you create online…
So many great books. A couple more that I love that have not been mentioned are: "The Tummy Mommy" I can't remember by who but it really helped me explain to my toddler that he grew in another women's tummy. My son loves "My very wanted child" The l…
I agree with you & felt the same way, at the end of the day, I'm still Morrigan's mother & I would do anything for her, which included placing her for adoption. I never felt that God had this is the plans for me to get pregnant at a young age & suff…
I don't think you're being harsh, its how you feel and not everyone's feelings are the same on things. I understand where you're coming from because I have had mixed feelings like it was meant to be to I am the birth mother...and I wanted the best f…
I felt that way to an extent. But things for me happened so fast and so in a weird way I know things felt like they were meant to be. But I understand where you're coming from, I feel like that now from time to time.
Bless all of you Birthmothers!
Those comments make me cry as I can not imagine the pain but I do feel love for all of u incredible women. I hope to have a birth mom who is open to b a part of the childs life, and if not i will honor it.
no I don't think I'm being harsh. I actually began my post stating that I may be mis-reading your post and then responded to to my interpretation of your questions and ummm actually you did use those exact words 4th sentence in the original post, "T…

- I gave a little baby up for adoption in May of 1999. It was a very positive time. I picked out her parents and I am so greatful that I found them. It is a very open adoption. She know I am her birth mother and always has. She calls me her first mom. My parents are still grandma and grandpa to her...by choice of her adoptive parents. They named her middle name after me which was great. She writes me all the time and I go visit her if I am ever up where she lives.

Cristen & Rylins' story!!
I grew up in a very close LDS family. But went through some trouble things that most should not go through. When I found out I was pregnant was not good timing. My family had just gone though some very complicated issues and I was 17 and just graduated from high school. I was so scared for what I was going to do. My parents right at the start pushed for giving her to someone that could truly care for her and give her a father and a mother. But how was I going to just give her away and just turn… Continue

Kerri said… - Thanks so much for sharing your story. I'm an AP but I also work in women's health and, sadly, the stories of birth parents go ignored far too much.

Whitney Elsasser said… - Hey there! Thanks for the friendship. We have been hoping now for 18 months. We have met with several young women, and we seem to be the family before the right family comes along. I love your story, especially that you know that you found the right family. May the Lord bless you always.

- Wow I just think it's so great that your adoption experience has been so positive! You are so blessed to be part of a situation where the adoptive family agrees to let you have so much contact & I think that it's wonderful! Your little girl is going to grow up feeling extra-loved being able to have you in her life along with her "other" family. That's really touching, thank you for sharing your story!
