Every single day. Maybe not so much as before I had BigBrother. But his birth brought up issues that I didn't know existed. Once he came into this world and I saw, first hand, that I WAS an awesome Mom, despite what I was told before Munchkin was born (I wasn't ready to parent; I didn't have the ability to be a good Mom, etc)... I am an AWESOME Mom. (Not to toot my own horn!) It's okay to feel that way, Leah. Even though you and I are making the most of our own adoptions, we don't always have to be happy. As I said recently, it is NOT all sunshine and rainbows. Please don't heistate to talk about these emotions, Leah. It's better than keeping them inside. Come to me if you need to talk! -- Claud - So true. Even when BigBrother wakes up at 6am (SIX IN THE MORNING? OMG)... his smiles wipe the sleep from my eyes and I am in heaven. AT SIX IN THE MORNING. lol Leah – yes. Every single day. Maybe not so much as before I had BigBrother. But his birth brought up issues that I didn’t know existed.

Sometimes...I think, besides hearing my daugter sing rally badly, or feeding tristan endless cheese, the daily joys of life as a mommy, it is what i live for. You go Ski Bunny!! Go. go! It makes my day totally when I hear that someone has turned away from adoption!!

Don't get me wrong, I love how my life has turned out through adoption. I'm proud of my decision and I love the family and life Kaylee has. But, as you said, it is hard. Reading this just reminded me of those feelings, and the "what if's" that it could have been. But, that's ok. It's part of being a birthmom. I agree, if unplanned pregnancies happen, I do hope they can find the means to support themselves and their child and put their mind to doing the best they can. Thanks for supporting all the people you do, birthmothers or not. You are amazing. -Leah *sigh* Do you ever feel, well, jealous or sad that you didn’t parent?
