A Birth Mother Adoption Story

My mom looked around for an adoption agency. We all decided on A Child’s Waiting. My family and I met with a counselor from the agency. She was so nice and helpful to everyone in my family that needed her. My Counselor took my family and I through what was going to happen all throughout the pregnancy. She is a wonderful person, she helped all of us out through this hard time. You’re scared when you’re so young and you know that you are not ready to be a parent. I picked the family out, met with them at dinner, and have kept in contact with the adoptive parents ever since I had my child. Once we found out that I was having a child, my counselor has been there ever since. A Child’s Waiting is a wonderful agency to work with. They take care of you no matter how old you are, they understand what a birth mother needs, and they also understand what you are going to feel before and after you give birth.

I gave birth to a baby girl. My counselor and the agency were there to help my parents and I out emotionally, financially, and mentally. They know that the birth mother has a lot of emotions after you give birth, and they also know that it is hard for the birth mother just to give her child away. I love my baby girl with all my heart. I still think about her and I also wonder what my life would be like if I did become a parent. When I talk to my counselor about all of this, she lets me know the positives and negatives of what I would have to deal with if I did become a parent. I would have to deal with the father being a part of my life and also deal with the fact that he has another girl pregnant and being a part of her life. I don’t talk to the father and he is not involved in the adoption. I know some people might say that he should be involved, but deep down he has no idea how hard this was and what I went through.

A Child’s Waiting is a great agency to go through. They help you out with anything that you need. No matter what happens or what goes right or wrong they will be there for you to understand what you are talking about. I can’t thank everyone at the agency enough for helping my family and I out. It was a hard situation to deal with. No matter what happens in my life or any other birth mother you will never forget that you gave birth to a baby boy or girl.

My counselor has helped me deal with the ups and down’s after I gave birth. Some days are lonely because I sometimes think when I go out with my friends, or go to school or work, or even when I get out of the car I feel like I am forgetting something. The adoption agency has helped me deal with the emotional stage of the after birth. Like I said I can’t thank them enough for everything that they have done. They help me out a lot. I am still working with my counselor to this day and I am also doing some volunteering things with her and the agency.

Thank you for anyone that reads this story.

Thanks,

A Birth Mother
