ADOPTION IS A BLESSING!
Today is National Adoption Day. People who adopt are not special people. They are not altruistic. We are just everyday people like you. Whatever our reasons for adopting, please
know this: OUR CHILDREN ARE NOT THE
LUCKY ONES. WE ARE!
My body betrayed me at 33 and I ended up having to have a
hysterectomy. All I ever wanted to be
when I grew up was a mommy. And in
November 1985, that all came crashing down around me. I felt like that was never going to happen to
me. In fact, I had agencies tell me and
Jim that we would never be able to adopt.
The said Jim was over 40, I was fat and Jim had been an alcoholic. My dream of being a mommy died that day. Or so I thought.
And then....7 years later my first angel entered my life and
placed my daughter Ashlie into my arms.
I cannot tell you how my heart almost exploded with love that day. A year and a week later, another angel placed
my son Cody into my arms. And my dream
was complete.
If you marry someone or are married to someone or are
considering marrying someone that cannot produce a biological offspring, just
know that a baby or child who comes to you through adoption is a baby who grew
in your heart instead of in your (your wife's) tummy. They
just took a detour to get to you.
The greatest gifts I ever received were my children, Ashlie
and Cody. And I am forever indebted to
the two women, Carolena and Veronica, who allowed me the privilege of being mom
to my two amazing children.
Adoption is a blessing.
