Hard? yeah...

Now here is my next thought for today!

As you have seen many of my amazing friends have shown or shared their adoption story! I just wanted to cover something that seems to come up a lot in the support group I go to.

What if it hurts me when I place? 

Unfortunately I can only bring myself to give an honest answer! Its going to be REALLY HARD and its going to REALLY HURT. But if you ask 99% of people who have placed they will say they did the right thing! There are people I know who have placed 1, 4, 10, 14, 25 years ago; they all hold to their decision. 

You will cry, you will bawl, you will miss them with everything in you. But it will get better, life will go on. When you see how happy they are in a 2 parent family, that can provide, and be there for that child emotionally, physically, and financially, you will be reassured in your decision! If you have any more questions of coping skills or how it is in general after placement, email us!!!

Importance of a Support System

Today I went to a birthmother support group meeting in Portland, Oregon! It was fantastic! I really enjoyed talking to the women there. There were only two, plus me, but there was one who I was extremely impressed with. One of the women there was planning on placing twins, she is due any day now.

The group leader asked her, how she was going to get through it?
Her answer was: by using all of her support group to its fullest and not taking any one person of it for granted. 

How smart this is! 

When going through an adoption process, on either side- birth parent or adoptive parent, it is important to use a support group. Whether it is a church/religious network, an adoption agency, friends, family members... you need one!! I think it would be safe to say it would be near impossible to get through this without at least one person to rely on.

I then thought of my dear friends that I met throughout my adoption process. They helped me through a lot, even when I pushed them away for short periods of time, they still hung on. I then thought, some people don't have these built in support groups, so I concluded that if all else fails, rely on your God and your Faith to get you through it all!! With God all things are possible!


Be strong and hold on! You never get a storm without a rainbow.
