My husband and I are starting to go through the adoption process to expand our family. This is not the first time adoption has touched our lives as he was adopted at birth and had a wonderful childhood. I want to take the time to say that, while the choice is riddled with heartache, tears and doubt, you do what is right for you and your unborn child. I agree that there are quite a few people that look harshly upon mothers giving up their children. But these people are usually the ones who have neither been on the end to have to make the decision to put their child up for adoption or looking into adoption. Both sides of adoption, giving a child up and adopting a child, is a roller coaster that is physically and emotionally draining.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. There are always people out there that are quick to judge. Please take heart in knowing that you are doing what is right for you and your child. My husband had a wonderful childhood because his angel of a birthmother had it in her heart and knew she had to do what was right for her and her unborn child.

Best wishes and there are people out here that think the world of you brave souls.
