Now you know that your son has company! Our daughter's birthmother was scheduled for an abortion at 4 months. Something happened,(she was literally on the table) and the procedure did not go forward. 5 months later, the baby was delivered by emergency C-section. The brave birthmother was already parenting two children, and could not provide for another child. Her newborn spent a harrowing 12 days in the NICU in CA. Very difficult time, but she pulled through. My family met the birthmother two days post delivery, and she was relieved to spend some time with us and know that her daughter was in good hands. Even though the birthmother does not want an ongoing relationship with me and my husband, she was very clear that the baby has a green light to contact her once she is older. The birthmother has requested updates on the baby, and it was great to send photos and news of her progress to the agency to forward. I look forward to telling my daughter some of the wonderful things I know about her birthmother: Olympic caliber ice skater, devoted mother, and big heart. Beautiful brown curly hair and a sense of humor. So funny how life works out. This little girl is the light of our lives and gives her big brother a run for his money. She has a full bio brother who looks just like her, and I surely hope she connects with her birthfamily. My daughter's birthmother reached deep inside her and made the best of a difficult situation. And for that, so many people are grateful. I hope that you find peace with your decision to place. And I feel so much better knowing that my kid has some interplanetary connection with another child.
