I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to choose a family for a baby I would birth. But that is exactly where "B" finds herself today. She's looking through portfolios of families...wondering..."which family will love my baby with all their heart?", "which one will help make his dreams come true?", "which one would protect him and keep him safe?". She's on an emotional roller coaster. Some days she falls into deep depression asking herself, "how did I get here?" The next moment she feels hope because of the sacrificial decision she desires to make. On top of all of this she is pregnant...highly emotional, exhausted, uncomfortable... Most likely her world is not put neatly together. Her fears might race her mind as she asks... Does my family support my decision for life? Will I be disowned by my family for making a plan for my child? Will I regret this decision? Will this child hate me for this?
"B" has my prayers whether she chooses our family or not. I pray blessings over her life. I pray God shows up in a major way to comfort and give her strength. I am thankful that she chooses life for her child. She is choosing like a true momma. One that will do anything to make sure her child has the best chance at life. She will sacrifice her own feelings and desires to benefit the life of her baby. Again I reflect on how honored I am to be involved in the lives of others in such an intimate way. Adoption is not just about the baby you receive into your home...it's also just as much about the birth mom. the true hero.
Will you join with us in prayer for "B" and the difficult road that is ahead of her?
"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2
