just wondering if there are any christian birthmoms that would like to share our adoption stories

i would love to be an encouragement in the adoption process

[thanksgivingmom]

hi longing,
im a christian birthmom too, thats really learning to understand what the word "faith" means, and how hard it can be to maintain. i always had faith that a higher power existed and through my pregnancy and birth my belief and faith in God grew exponentially.

however, for the first time in my life i have really HAD to have faith in other people. in the past, when i didnt have faith in another the consequences were quite small. now, if i dont have faith in amom my consequences are devastating.

its interesting to me how i can have such a pure faith in something i have never seen but can at times have such little faith in something i know to be real.

does this make sense?

by the way, i wish you the best of luck with your journey and pray that you may someday have a blessed reunion with your daughter

hi there

yes i can understand your feelings a bit..

putting my faith in God has gotten me through the worst times in this adoption process....really and trully

its when we dont know why things go the way they do ......that we put our faith in God and know that God is a good God and wants us to heal and you know....God pulled through for me where no one was able too......that definately strengthed my faith in God when you actually have your prayers answered through means of ONLY God and God alone...

now thats amazing to me

[SchmennaLeigh]

Yup, me.

its so exciting to see more "christian" birthmoms.......

i dont know about you but this site has been so helpful through all the emotions that go with adoption......

its hard to believe that my daughter will be 18 next year .......how time flies

Katey - I've just read your story. It is an inspiring one. There are all kinds of signs of God's blessings in your story (including the fact that you actually got pregnant - since eating disorders also effect your reproductive system -let alone carried her to term).

beautiful story Kiteykat

as i know about closed adoption ....seems like open is much less upsetting for the birthmom

tks for sharing

[rch4hvn]

I love your page.....I am so glad that you have found peace with your adoption and it sounds like the Aparents are following through with the openess of the adoption.
God Bless you and good luck in the future

I am not a birthmom, but I wanted to thank you for sharing your page just the same!

I love the poem you wrote for your daughter. It brought tears to my eyes.

in fact i am a preacher's dd. it was a very rough time during my pregnancy and then the adoption. ppl felt b/c my family was the minister they had a privilage of knowing our business. ppl literally asked me HOW could i give my bd away. there were hurtful times i thought i wouldnt make it thru. but i have and now its 20yrs later. i know God had a plan w/ all of it. and i now have some info on my bd. i am praying what God's will is now that i have this info.
alos...i am brand new to this forum. i hope to get some advise,supportand input on being a bmom and reunion.
