im a birthmom and the end of my signature pretty much sums up whats going on with my adoption......


im feeling very much out of sorts....and i know that God is in control but it still consumes my thoughts at times......i need healing in the worst way......and seems like its not happening ......

please pray for the adoptive couple to hold their end of the bargain up ......and send the picture along ....or else phone me to explain whats going on .....i feel out of sorts ...trying to understand whats going on with little information .....

tks for praying and God bless......

I'm so sorry that has happened to you!!

Lord, please bless this broken heart with a picture of her precious baby. Bless her for her selflessness. Soften the heart of the aparents. May they be open to sharing, according to Your will. Amen

I'm sorry too. I certainly can't say for sure why they aren't sending a picture when the told you they would. A guess is they are feeling insecure. You may want to allow for more time, if you haven't already, for them to come around. I know after our adoptions, we needed EVERYONE that was not our close family or friends to stay as far away from us as possible so we could feel like a family without the constant reminder of adoption. It's no that we wanted to forget, we just needed to bond and feel like a family. My son's bgrandma had a hard time at first but once she understood and I felt our space was respected, it was much easier to open up and share with her. I feel completely different than I used to about openness.

I pray you will get that glimpse you are seeking and were promised.

Take care,
MJ

I am so sorry. I am on the other side of adoption and I know if I made a promise to the first mom I would make sure it was kept. Best of luck to you. Prayers your way.

"Longing to Meet You'", thanks for sharing your journey, though painful and challenging at this time. Hold on to hope. I want to suggest a wonderful support for birth mothers who are open to a Christian resource. Birth Mom Buds which website is: Welcome to BirthMom Buds!
is a great group for encouragement founded by 2 birth mothers. Another online group I have been involved with in the past which has a great number of Christian birth moms to encourage one another is found at:
adoption_triad : Adoption Triad
May God bless you and encourage you and fill you with His hope. He is faithful and knows your heart's desire. His timing is perfect in all ways!

i just want to say tku for all your prayers.....


the picture i found online PRAISE GOD ......
i love how God intervenes....

on a sad note.......
the adoptive parents served me papers from an attorney today im shocked....
it basically says im not to talk to or contact anyone that knows my daughter....


i was just wondering if there was anyone out here that might be apart of a legal firm? or give me a bit of advice.....
im most shocked that this couple has done this to me .....
after all ive been through ....this????


i feel like i cant even talk here now ....
someone fill me in please ........i am seeking legal advice but any help here would be great tks!

[lonni]

I am sorry.I do know of other parents who were served with papers also while the child was a minor. I would recommend that you not post much information publically because that was always how the legal caregivers found out.(on the cases I know of)
IMO~This is the last bit of legal control they have while the child is a minor and some exert it.Once the child is of age,they can not. I am sorry and even more sorry for your poor daughter.
Once again,the adopted child is in the middle;~(

My prayers are with you.

My prayers are with you. As a hopeful adoptive mom it saddens me that you are not included by the adoptive family. You blessed that couple and gave to them a little miracle. I pray that they will know of the love you have and the respect you so much deserve for choosing adoption. I see so many of these post, and it breaks my heart. Our little angel's birth mom will forever hold a special place in our hearts...we could never forget how she blessed us!! I saw first hand the courageous act of love and that is something I just will always hold onto. My prayers are with you ...

[longingtomeetyou]

and i lean on Him through this time....

tks again for praying.....

You are in my prayers,
