Not a day goes by that I don’t regret that day.
I knew it wasn’t right but what was i to say?

No thank you, not now, maybe another day?
It didn’t matter he’ll do it anyway.

My mom warned me about this,
but we weren’t gonna do it maybe just a kiss.

The night was over time to go home.
He didn’t even say good bye, I felt so alone.

My mom woke up and asked where I’ve been.
Oh just out with a friend I said with a grin.

A few months go by and my belly gets big.
No, I cant be pregnant I just eat like a pig.

I went to the store and got a test.
It didn’t feel right, but lets hope for the best.

10 minutes go by and it’s time to look.
This may be the hardest test I ever took.

I looked at the test and fell to the floor.
Next thing I heard was a knock at the door.

When I showed my mom she wasn’t very proud.
When I showed my dad he screamed so loud.

There’s nothing we can do the damage is done.
But there is options that won’t be so fun.

We went to the doctors, they said its a girl.
So, how am i gonna tell her father, I’ll have to give it a whirl

My mom told me we have to put her up for adoption.
My dad said This was my only option.

I chose a family who couldn’t have kids of their own.
The pick the perfect parents an called them on the phone.

The labor was hard and it hurt quite a lot.
But it all went away when I got the shot.

The doctor came in and said “The family is here”
Its been a long road but the end is near.

Her new family came in I didn’t know what to say.
They promised they would love her and lets all pray .

I wrote her a letter,
telling her this was for the better.

The new happy family left the room and I started to cry.
I was so sad I wanted to die.

I was only 17 and made a big mistake,
and it’s one I hope you never make

So with this all said, I pray you understand
That this was always in GODS plan

Once there were two women who never knew each other.
One you do not remember the other you call Mother.

Two different lives, shaped to make yours one.
One became your guiding star; the other became your sun.

One gave you a nationality; the other gave you a name.
One gave you the seed of talent; the other gave you an aim.

One gave you emotions; the other calmed your fears.
One saw your first sweet smile; the other dried your tears.

One gave you up, it was all that she could do.
The other prayed for a child and God led her straight to you.

And now you ask me through your tears.
The age-old questions through the years:

Heredity or environment, which are you a product of?
You’ll always have two Mothers with two different kinds of love

there was this one poem i found it was so beautiful it was about a baby in heaven and god came to the baby and said it is your time my son you must come to the great tree and pick your family and the baby looked at all the families on the tree and couldnt find one so he asked god if he could look at the very top and god said yes but i must worn you, my son you will not be able to go to those families the same way you see they cant have children like the average person but the boy found the family he wanted up there so god told him now he must choose a mother to carry him and it must be a very strong and loving mother for she will be your birth mother and give you to your parents in the end,,,,,, it was so beautiful but i cant seem to find it if anyone on here knows what im talking about please help im crying as i think about it it was beautiful

Three more years until the search
What have they told you, see my heart lurch?
Am I a saint or sinner? What lies fill your mind?
Soon enough I’ll see your face, what will I find?

My son, my heart, my soul, my angel boy.
I’ll reveal the evils, the sinister ploy.
Are we strong enough to each know the facts?
It doesn’t matter, mommy will be there to heal what lacks.

My husband and I are planning to adopt a new baby at some point in the near future and are in the process of trying to find the right birth mother and baby. As a result I have learned a lot.

My husband and I have been together for 15 years (I am 35 and he is 42),and we have 3 young children (14-girl, 11-boy, and 6-girl). I love my children with every fiber in my being (though I like you was definitely not ready when the first one surpised me.:) However, since that time God has so richly blessed us. We have been blessed abundantly with our finances, a dream home we built from scratch (4 years ago- over 5,300 sf.),but most of all with a HUGE amount of love and a very strong sense of family between us all. Our children are extremely nurtured (thank God - probably too much, :-)). As a result of birthing each of those children, I know that it has to be beyond difficult for you to make the decision to place your baby for adoption. I believe that it would break me almost in half to do the same thing. HOWEVER, if you are doing so out of love and total unselfishness toward your baby, YOU ARE NOT SIMPLY ABANDONING YOUR BABY as the previous person suggested. If you truly believe that you can not care for your baby properly and give him/her the full love,nurturing, and support that every precious baby deserves to have then you are making a completely unselfish decision and it sounds like one motivated by love and concern for the baby. If someone just gives up their baby, while being completely financially stable,married, etc. - I HAVE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THAT. But if you are 16 yrs. old and have decided that you want the BEST out of life for your baby,and you are certain that you can not provide that on your own,but want to give it - DON’T FEEL GUILTY. That is true love. Hopefully,the previous poster will read this message and understand it. You are willing not to murder your own baby and to give him her a chance to live and have a life. That is love and I take my hat off to you and applaud you for your strength,courage, and the selflessness you are showing. However, with all that said-this will probably be the most difficult thing you have ever done. BE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT YOU ARE SURE BEFORE YOU DO IT. If you have great doubt you probably should not do it. Pray and ask God to direct you, ask him to show you what to do and he will. He will make it clear, and then follow what you know to be ABSOLUTELY true in your heart.

One more good thing - remember you can have an open adoption - which we think is probably a very good thing. In an open adoption you will receive pictures and updates about the baby. Perhaps you can even arrange visits once or twice a year.

God Bless! You will be in my prayers sweetie. I know this is sooo much to handle,but you are strong and you will make it through and you will continue to live and have life abundantly!

Speaking as an adoptee, I’d've rather’ve been aborted than adopted - although obviously I’d've much rather’ve stayed with my mom.
