Oh Leah - I am sooo truly sorry, i just know it must be an awful feeling, the feelings of loss and grief are just so heavy and can be so debilitating, for body, mid and spirit!
I know, i have many of these feelings in my life, and time seems to be a…
If you have read a great book or some form of literature pertaining to adoption, and would like to recommend it, or discuss it with others this is the group for you.
A group for people who have experienced closed adoption situations that gives them the opportunity to discuss the pros & cons of closed adoption.
Thanks Becky :o)
I was a little concerned about posting in the first place xox

Sorry in advance....
But Birth Mothers have the right to keep their babies, you don't realize the bond you have made with the miracle inside your belly until the 11th hour.
A Natural Mother deciding to keep and raise her baby is a beautiful thing.…

Karine Mikesell said… - I am very excited to get to know you better as well :) You have an amazing story :) You sound like a very strong and amazing woman! I need more friends who are like you :) AMAZINGLY STRONG :) I just read some of your blog. Congrats on your M finding you :) As for your mother, give her time. Some people act out in fear. All that matters is your happy and good ;) I can't wait to become a better friend to you. Thank you for sharing your story ! :)
I feel open adoption is so important for the child as well as the birth parents. I mean... for a child to have the love of two mothers. For a child to know he or she was so loved that they were placed with a hand picked family from the birth parent. is a gift! and for the child I feel a great comfort. write me anytime :)

Rebecca L Vahle said… - Wow...I really like you! : ) Thank you so much for sharing your heart! You are sooo right about post placement support - how amazing would it be to have transitional homes for BMoms - we offer all these maternity homes, but what about advocates, counseling/mentoring for those that have placed! Sigh Someday!

Rachel Breza said… - Hi! I just read your story on the Birthparent Group. Your situation with your daughter is a tough one...its so wonderful that she was resourceful enough to find you online, and be brave enough to email you.
I can see how this is bittersweet-since her adoptive parents dont know that she has contacted you. Its so hard to determine where boundary lines are drawn in a situation like this. Since shes underage and all, and they still have the parental rights to make decisions for her. But then again, she is at the age of reason where, in a legal setting if she really wanted to have a relationship with you, even a judge wouldn't turn it down...not that you are looking at anything like that-Im just saying.
Ive been sitting here pondering how I would handle something like that. I think that I would almost say " Im so excited that you made contact. I want to talk to you and have a relationship with you, but I think the right thing to do would be to talk to your mom and dad about this. They may be more accepting of it than you think, and then it wont seem like you are hiding anything..." Just my thoughts. :)

Nan Barton said… - Your story is amazing. My kids, especially my 11 year old have been asking a lot about the baby I placed for adoption 16 years ago. I have lost contact with the adoptive family, because the agency I was working with sort of dropped the ball. But how amazing it would be to re-establish that connection with them some day!
I have a niece and nephew who were adopted and my sister-in-law has found both of their birth moms on facebook, but she has never pursued anything, because they didn't want an open adoption. She loves her children's birth parents, and wishes she could still have a relationship with them.
Thank you so much for sharing your story!
