| | Adoption Stories
 | My name is Cassandra and this is my story |
| Let's start from the begining, I was 17 when I had my first son. If that wasn't hard enough trying to raise a baby by yourself so young, I finally thought I found the man of my dreams when I was 18 and he loved my little boy, or so it seemed, at the age of 19 I had my second child. Everything was going as planned I was engaged when i found out i was pregnant and the father appeared to be very happy we were engaged for 2 years when i found out we were having another son, then I found out appearances can be very decieving. There was a knock on my door, I answered to my suprise to see a girl standing there asking me if I was dating my fiance' I said yes she said well i have been seeing him for 2 years now and we are having a baby and then she looked at my stomach and said i see you're too. I confronted this man who so badly betrayed me and he laughed it off and said yes its true. With my heart broken I told her he was all hers. I had my 3rd child and was alone again, finished school and held down a job. Although while preganant with my 3rd i contemplated abortion but when i was at the clinic i could not go through with it, then I thought i will try to do this but i had my hands full with 2 already and 1 being a special needs child, I tried for almost a year and deicded that the situation was to unfair for my youngest and he wasn't getting the love and attention he deserved, I called the adoption agency and was told about open adoption and was very interseted so they sent me some pics to look at and i fumbled through them and when i saw the couple i knew it before i even read their story out of 100 pics i just knew. I called the adoption agency back and then called the couple and we talked for almost 2 hours. The next week they came to meet my son and they fell in love with him as he did with them. I knew when i saw them together it was the right desicion. He is now almost 4 years old and we stay in contact with eachother, i choose not to see him because of the fear it will be to diffucult to let go again. I do not regret the choice i made to give him a life that i never could or would be able to. He is happy and has a life everyone only dreams about. I love him and there is not a hour that goes by that i don't think of him and thank god for what he is becoming. One day when the time is right they will tell him and i will always be here for him and when that day comes i will reunite with the child that i loved so much that i chose to make sure he had what i know and knew he always deserved. |
