Parts unedited of story…. The website was broken in 2018 and still havent fixed it. I wrote all this much better and will again soon. This is from 2008:
Usually adoptions take place 4 days after birth (in Texas) but because of legal issues w father signature, I GOT A WHOLE 31 DAYS with her!we had so much fun
These were the best days of my life! Everyone was worried I would get too attached, and of course I did! But I wanted to love on her as much as I could, while I could. I think I proved to agency that a birth mom can get attached & still go through with the adoption. We do it because we love them, not because we “weren’t attached yet.” But I miss her more than anything now! It will be a long long 17 year wait to hopefully see her and hold her again. I didn’t ever think it could (or anything could) hurt this bad. It’s like loosing or “giving away” a piece of me bigger than I knew I had.She is perfect
I learned how precious life is & how lucky we are to be given it. Everything I do or receive in life is because of His Grace, I’m just thankful to of lived this long…and each new day is a gift I didn’t deserve.
There were more crazy twists & turns during it all. I got Eclampesia (swelled up 100 pds) & had emergency “natural” labor! I since joined the Foundation (link on right) and we try to spread awareness. I had Eclampesia, not just pre-eclampesia. We were very “lucky” to be alive.
She had a false alarm illness, hospital on the 15th day. I lived w/ 30 pregnant women in dorms & lot of other fun stuff that all connected together in the end.
