I’m so happy for you! I wish I knew of birthmothers here in Muncie – but so far I’ve not been so blessed. I look forward to hearing more!

What an incredible feeling I’m sure. I have been through some tough spots in my life and when I have found out I wasn’t “alone” I felt I could breathe a little sigh of relief. It’s like you can look at the person who opened up to you and think, “they really get it!”

For Kendra-
I hope that you do a LOT more reading of blogs of first mothers before you take the child of another as your “own”. And of adoptees. And please read some books, such as Nancy Verrier’s “Primal Wound”.
I can’t wait for the day when the US does what Australia did, and realizes that mother/child separation because of economic reasons is an atrocity and should be avoided. Natural mothers (even terrified, unsure, alone, young mothers) need to realize that they alone are the PERFECT mothers for their child; not another who “seems” better because they are married (for now) and have more money.
Why not adopt from foster care, a child who truly needs a family? My son longed to meet me his whole life and found me when he was 19. He tells me he is so glad the the part of his life without me is over, and that I am his Mom. There is a reason we are still connected, even with years apart from each other. It is nature; God does not put babies “in the wrong tummy”. People want to believe that God has a hand in adoption because to think otherwise would make them out as “covetors” of the worst kind…….even Moses went back to his people.

See, God does know what He’s doing! I’m glad you listened to that nagging within your soul :-)

It sounds like the two of you have a lot of similarities and can offer many things to each other. I hope God continues to work in both of your lives, healing together.

P.S. I love the new blog look!

Sounds like you were “meant to be” there last night.

I hope that you and she will be able to support each other.

THAT rocks! See? He works in mysterious ways for sure. Sometime you need to be where you need to be to be open to information that was meant for you. And it was. Cool. I’m psyched for you. As much as you might need to have her in your everyday life, she might need you. {{{Hugs}}}

I’m so glad you went and had that experience.

I think of you often while navigating the tricky pre-adoption waters with our agency and the expectant mother we’re matched with. Your blog is the first thing that I EVER read from a birth parent perspective, and it led me down a much different path with a lot more knowledge than I otherwise might have had. I thank you for that.

Sounds like just what you needed. Powerful on so many levels. I’m sure the two of you have much to offer each other even perhaps just in the knowing.
