Those weeks, days, then hours leading up to the adoption…are the most intense, over-emotional, scary, and confusing times, yet somehow they are also the most beautiful, peaceful, and cherished moments too. I don’t know how they all fit in together, but they do. When the birth mother and her child are just “talking” to each other, sometimes for hours and hours, it is the most beautiful scene to watch (but no one could ever watch though, because then it wouldn’t be just for them and lose it’s beauty) In my case I would go over all of my dreams for her, and how much I loved her, during that time. Several times we would go over the “plan for her life” I had made and I’d tell her about each member of her new family and how much they loved her. I went over the “procedure” for adoption day and told her not to worry I’d have the prettiest pink outfit for her to wear to meet them (she just had to get her beauty sleep tht night.) Then I told her…
The Story of a Girl
-
From God’s arms to my arms to yours
If you choose to tell her,
If she wants to know,
How the one who gave her life
Could bear to let her go.
Just tell her there were sleepless nights
I prayed and paced the floors,
And knew the only peace I'd find,
Was if this child was yours. And maybe, you could tell your baby, When u love her so,how she's been loved before
By someone, who delivered her from,
God's arms, to my arms, to yours.
This may not be the answer,
For another girl like me.
But I'm not on a soapbox,
Saying how we all should be.
I'm just trusting in my feelings,
And I'm trusting God above,
And I'm trusting you can give this baby
Both her mother's love.

Adoption Healing

Adoption Healing, by Joe Soll, C.S.W.
"Adoption Healing ...a path to recovery" is a book that deals with truth -- not the way people would prefer to see it, but exactly the way it is. Not only does it validate those feelings of doubt, fear, anxiety and loss that so many adoptees and birth mothers feel, but it gives you ways and exercises to help you deal with those feelings. I strongly suggest that everyone read it. It will help you to understand yourself, your sister or brother, your child, your partner or spouse."
Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning, the Devil says "Oh crap, she's up!"
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it." -- Joseph Goebbels
It is the willingness to do things differently
that allows the human race to progress."
-- Isabel Parlett
