I wish for HIM that I had a photo or a story or some knowledge that I could offer him as He gets older, because I know he will grieve her. It is a big void not knowing anything. :( Our son is extremely musical, and I wonder about that ... he's tall and very athletic ... he is extremely handsome ... he's stubborn and smart ... I know if I wonder about his first mother, surely he will wonder too. It took a lot of courage for her to birth a healthy baby boy--I am so thankful for her.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954120667567569503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893097126776917798.post-87841893960554326802010-11-05T22:20:58.441-07:002010-11-05T22:20:58.441-07:00AMAZING STORY!!!

It could very likely BLESS this woman to know and see via pics how well LL is doing!.....and what a RIGHT choice she made in giving her up for adoption! Can't wait for your next post!

I'm afraid I'm am adoptive mama who will never be able to give my baby those answers. I so admire you for going. I have no doubt it will be so hard to be away from your loves, but the gift you will give LL someday will make this all so worth it.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912857890584533572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893097126776917798.post-91973726402157095782010-11-05T08:19:57.134-07:002010-11-05T08:19:57.134-07:00WOW!

Amazing. As an adoptive parent, I can understand why some people would not want to meet their child's birth mom, but I do have the same desire you have and was so blessed by the meeting that I did get to have with one of our adopted children. We have not been able to meet our other child's birth mom and, for me, it feels like a loss. I am so glad you will get to see her and hug her and thank her for the life she brought into this world!

Almost ever...Oh, I had chills as I read this post. Almost every day I think of Grace's birthmother. I want to tell her how much I love her daughter and how well she is doing and thank her for this incredibly selfless act oh her part that gave me another daughter. SO many times I have wondered...how could I ever find her?? Your post tonight has encouraged me to press in and pray to believe that the Lord will reunite us. I agree...having more info. on her birth family is a very great gift to give your daughter, and for me to give mine. Blessings to you as you go on this journey. I am praying that my day comes soon!Bonnie Nieuwstratenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187032879567501612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893097126776917798.post-11570878650598959662010-11-04T21:06:20.457-07:002010-11-04T21:06:20.457-07:00So can't wait to hear what comes next.... only...So can't wait to hear what comes next.... only God could make this happen.
