| | Adoption Stories
 | The Hardest Decision |
| I had my first child at the age of seventeen and made the great choice of keeping her. I am now twenty eight and still with the father of my child, we have had two more beautiful children, a daughter and another son. At the end of 2003 I discovered I was pregnant again. Totally unplanned, my little boy was only seven months old and my partner had been in a car accident and broken his back. I had to make a tough choice. |
It took me all of four months, driving to the social worker, chickening out and driving back again. I eventually plucked up the corauge to go in and arrange for my child to be adopted. Fortunatly I held the upper card in this one and I lay down a few ground rules. I wanted a Caesarian, and I wanted to be knocked out. I also wanted to meet and get to know the prospective parents. It was the toughest choice I have ever had to make, but in my heart I know it was the right one. On 7 May 2004 my son was born, I chose not to see him for I knew if I did I would not be able to go through with the adoption. I left the hospital five days later, leaving my baby behind. I named him Jose`. He will live in my heart forever. The comfort I have in knowing I gave him the gift of life. Knowing I had given others joy in completing their family. It will soon be his first birthday, and as arranged I am able to recieve photo's of him. I am counting the days until I get to meet the son I gave birth to but have not had the privelage of raising into a man. Never a day goes by when I dont think of him or miss him and he will live in my heart forever. Until we meet again. I Love You.
