There is no greater love
My name is Rennie and I am a birth mother….I am a young mom of 2 beautiful little boys who are 9 months and 3 days apart. If I may, I would love to tell you about my experience with adoption.
Never once did the thought of adoption cross my mind. I always said it will be okay, GOD would take care of me and my boys. Well He did and has continued to. After the early labor and delivery of my second son, I spent months running to and from the hospital. Finally my baby boy got to come home. One day I looked into my little boy’s eyes and saw life for the first time. I realized that I could not care for both of my children as I knew they both deserved. So for days I thought and prayed for GOD to give me the answer I so desperately needed, and He did. The thought of adoption was the answer. I continued to pray for days that if this was the right thing, GOD would lead me in the right direction. Once again he did. He brought me to Family Adoption Services and I met the most amazing people I have ever met in my life Rick and his wife Susan. At that point I felt that God was telling me, here is your answer, now take it. At that very moment I felt the pain that I had carried in my heart for so long disappear, and I knew everything would be okay. They found a couple that was perfect. I met them and as soon as I saw their faces, I knew that these where the people that GOD had chosen for my son and me. Rick made sure that I was comfortable with them and that I had all of my questions answered. There were legal papers to sign, the hardest thing I have ever done, but I felt like God was doing it for me. As I walked into the room holding my baby, I knew then that our baby would have more love than I could ever have given him alone, by myself. Now he has two families, he has a Mom & a Dad, a Mother and a Father, and many, many other family members that will always love him! Not a day goes by that I don’t think of my baby, but also I never feel regret for what I did. He now has the life that I could not have given him.
No I did not lose a son, I gained a family.
Adoption was my answer, as it may be too for many others just like me who want what is best for their children. All I can really say is pray for your GOD to help you, he will never say no.
I hope and wish the best for all adopted children and birth parents … there is no greater love.
