Stephanie was one of the first guest bloggers we ever had! You can read her story here.

My how time flies!!! I know Steph has gone through a lot since placing in 2009. My favorite part about her though... No matter what comes her way she learns from it and grows. She is mature beyond her years because of the trials she has gone through with this adoption and I love her truly!

Repost: The Other Side

Pin It

This Post is a fabulous one to read! It reminds us of other perspectives besides birthmom and her side. there are lots of people involved in adoptions and it stretches out and reaches extended family as well.

I am thankful that Amanda was so willing to share this personal story so openly and in turn open our eyes to the other side.

I know I didn't write this post all that long ago but I do find it an important thing to constantly remind those of us in an open adoption! Open adoption can be a wonderful thing...IF we remember our boundaries!

birthMOM wrote this awesome post a while back and i think it would be great to go back and read for those of you are getting ready to place a little one.

... i talked about loving les miserable?  (i especially love the adoption connection)

my reward to myself for completing the medical science board exams yesterday - by far the HARDest test i have ever taken, is a front and center ticket (were talking the dead center seat on row 6) to see the production TONIGHT! 

can i get a squeeeeee?? yeah baby! 

of course im going to bawl the entire time- beautiful music, beautiful story, beautiful sentiments, beautiful love triangles of sacrifice. perfection. 

REPOST- the stages of grief

have you read the article the describes the 5 stages of grief, with a birthmother twist? 

even if you have already, sometimes a lil reminder is nice, nice to know that all is well and normal and that grieving is natural!

everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes - REM

REPOST- i loved her first

my dear friend heather shared her story with us last year of how she came to choose adoption for her daughter. 

you will cry when you read the letter she wrote to that sweet baby girl just days after placement, 

this is what love truly is. 

REPOST- adoption wasnt an option for me

this GUEST BLOGGER post was originally shared on july 21, 2010. 

"This is not your every day 'i gave birth and placed 2 days later with a family i chose months ago' adoption story. britney, one of our recent giveaway winners, has lovingly shared her story with us. What a beautiful gesture of selfless moher love and sacrifice each and every adoption is.
Thank you britney for reminding us of that!" ...... I was 19, naïve, and believed everything anyone told me......I never thought something like this could happen to me......Adoption wasn't an option for me, in my mind.

be sure to read the rest!

REPOST- Guest Blogger: Kelsey Stewart

It was over 20 years ago that I placed my first born into adoption. It was the late 80's/early 90's and adoption was still seen as a shameful act that many did not understand, and more so, they did not WANT to understand. It was a very lonely time for me, I did not know many other women who did what I did....
