I thought birthmoms would be intersted in reading about adoptoin from a birthmoms point of view. This woman had her baby March 22, 2007 and started writing about her experinces.
This is a quote from one of her blog entrys.
"I was telling a coworker about my son's surgery and this manager looks at me and says in a disgusted tone "He's not your son anymore. You can't call him that." Ugh! At that point I just shut up and went back to work. I so wanted to find a dark corner somewhere and cry my eyes out but I couldn't since I was at work. Newsflash for the manager. Munchkin will always be my son. Yes I'm not raising him but I am his firstmother. The mother he knew for nine months while he developed. Some people just don't get it."
Just wanted to share this video from a brithmom on her adoption. It shows the process from pregnancy to her final goodbye.
