birth

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.
