The Story of A Girl

This website was created with love for Elizabeth, in case she ever wanted to know her story.

Hi Elizabeth,

If you found this website, it may mean that you’re curious about where you came from or who your birth mother is. I created this site so that if that day ever came, you would have a place where you could find me and learn a little about your story.

You were born on March 13, 2008.

When you were born, I called you Ann. Your family later named you Elizabeth, and both names have always lived in my heart.

The most important thing I want you to know is simple:

You have always been loved.

I created this website for one reason:

so that if you ever wanted to find me, you could.

My Story

A message for Elizabeth

Before You Were Born

Elizabeth,

Eighteen years ago, before you were born, my life changed in ways I never could have imagined. I was young, scared, and trying to understand something that had happened to me that I didn’t even know how to talk about. But even in the middle of all that confusion, one thing became very clear to me: your life mattered.

You were a gift from God.

During my pregnancy I learned what it meant to love someone more than myself. I wanted your life to be filled with stability, opportunity, and a family that could give you everything you deserved.

That is why I chose adoption.


The Day You Were Born

When you were born, I fell completely in love with you. Holding you for the first time was one of the most powerful moments of my life.

Letting you go to your parents was the hardest thing I have ever done. But at the same time, I felt peace knowing you were going exactly where you were meant to be.

They had prayed for you long before you arrived.


The Years After

Every year since then, I have quietly celebrated your birthday and wondered about the person you were becoming.

I received updates over the years and always felt grateful knowing you were growing up happy and loved.

Your life also inspired something bigger than just my own story. Because of you, I started Birth Mom Missions, a project to support other birth mothers and share more awareness about adoption.

Your life has touched more people than you may ever know.


Today

Today I am still in Texas. Life has changed in many ways over the years, but one thing has never changed:

I have always loved you.

You also have a little sister, Dani, who knows about you and prays for you. She hopes she will get to meet you someday.

There has never been any expectation or pressure from me — only love. If you ever want to know me, I will be here.

Always.

Love,

Brooke

Your birth mom
