Hi ladies,

I just needed somewhere to put my thoughts today....

Dh and I met with the bm today. She had requested to meet dh when he returned from his deployment (Luke was placed with us a week and a half before dh returned). I had met her the day the baby was placed with us. In fact, she handed the baby to me directly and said "Here's your boy".

It was a good meeting and once again, I was struck by what a fantastic and amazing girl the bm is. She was so sweet, interested in how we were coping with a new baby and whether he was good or not. She did hold Luke for a little while and then when it was time for her to go, she got a bit teary eyed. As she handed the baby back to dh, she said to Luke, "I'm going to give you back to your daddy now."

We have a semi open adoption, with all contact thru the agency. She lives in our local town so there is the chance we may run into her in the future, but I don't think it's going to be a problem. She just wanted two parents who love each other and would love her son, giving him what she couldn't. She is just an amazing girl and I am so thankful to her for giving us what we couldn't give ourselves: a family. What a blessing she has given us.

Okay, so now that I am sobbing, I'm gonna run. I just wanted to share.

Merry Christmas to all....it's going to be a merry one here at our house this year!

April

That is a lovely story.

I think of Emily's birthmom every single day. I thank God that she did what she could for her baby so that she would have the best life possible.

To think I owe so much to a woman I will never have the chance to meet is just mind boggling.

Thanks for sharing your story and welcome home to your DH!!

((((((((HUGS))))))))
