It never mattered to me that you didn't grow in my own body, but you grew in my heart. I was thrilled to be your Mommie and loved having you as my "own" precious baby! <br />It grieved me deeply to watch your pain as you struggled with your decision; to keep your precious baby or to place her for adoption. I know your decision was unselfish and the consideration for her future was far beyond your own needs and feelings. It took tremendous courage to not only give her "life", but to give her a better life that you were not able to give her at that time. <br />Being with you through your labor and delivery was an honor, and little did I know, would be the one and only opportunity for me as your Mother. It was a thrill to be able to care for you and Rachael those precious 9 days. Not knowing what you would decide during those days did not keep us from bonding to that sweet baby girl! It made the separation and saying good-bye deeply painful!!! It was the sweet comfort of God, and knowing He had hand picked her Mommie and Daddy, that eased that searing pain a little. There was a peace in knowing God took a difficult circumstance and blessed another family with such joy! I am a recipient<br />of such joy when we were given the gift of our baby girl - Julie Ann - at 5 days old. <br />We have been blessed!Joanne Olsonnoreply@blogger.com
