Lula; That’s something I can agree with: motherhood, in any shape or form, does change everything. BUT: the agencies/attorneys/society are/is busy telling expectant mothers considering placement that their lives will “go back to normal” and that they can proceed with their life’s goals and dreams without issue. They’re not told that the process of carrying, birthing and subsequently relinquishing a child often changes those dreams and goals and, more often than not, changes the person who had those dreams and goals.

Your story is also about advocating for change, giving other women a voice and connecting with all the people who read your words. Your story is about your personal growth and journey that shaped you into a person who can do all of that.

Motherhood, period, changes absolutely everything about a woman. Every mother I know reinforces that message to me daily, regardless of whether she’s raising her child/ren herself or not.

Can’t speak to the “warning” part of your post, but that thought struck me hard as I read it.

“Is my story a warning as to how interrupting motherhood changes absolutely everything about a woman?”

For me, that one sentence says it all.

Your story will be of what you decide to make of it. All your ideas would be a good book. So maybe you can write more than one.

“Interrupting motherhood changes absolutely everything about a woman.”
