It all started 1 year ago when I found out I was pregnet I am a mother of 2 as we speak and I love my children with all my heart, but bringing in a 3rd child was not fair for this baby I went threw all the emotions on weather this is what needed to be done, so I contacted american adoptions and laurie walker was the first voice I heard to comfort me in my decisions she called me when I needed her was there when I cried and was also my backbone I owe everything to her she is a angel, so as the story goes on laurie sent me so many families to review and i cried as i read the stories there were so many families in need. And at that point I knew my decision was the right one. As I am sitting at my kitchen table one family stuck out Shannon and Micheal and when I say this family is the family of any birth mother would want for there child I will stress it for the rest of my life they are god sent they made me feel so comfortable sitting in the hospital room after (Ryan Micheal) was born!
We talked about everything sports, school,thier family my family in 2 days we talked about everything and anything.The look on there faces when they seen the baby for the first time was incredible Shannon and Micheal had this glow about them You cant explain I know deep down inside that Ryan would have the family any little boy would dream of. So it brings me to the day I had to leave It was so hard to leave little man it really was Shannon grabbed me and held me we cried together as I walked out the door I glanced at micheal and seen happiness for his new family and sadness for me at the same time as he held that baby close to his heart I felt so proud of myself for giving a baby and a couple a family. Pictures have been sent and letters from them and everytime I see them I cry out of happiness for there new family. Ryan was born the day before my birthday so april 21st will stick in my mind forever but I will smile knowing that shannon and micheal are a family now.
