I can say this post is very timely to me. I used to be a labor/delivery coach for young women at the Florence Crittendon Agency. None of the young ladies there chose adoption as an option for their babies. But I had the unique experience of being asked to support a young lady through this process via my church 20 yrs ago and it was a private labor/delivery for her. We met through her mom /and her psychologist. I was her coach and her friend. She was 20, date raped, a strong Christian, and stronger than any other person I'd met. I was touched when she shared the letters with me from potential parents such as your friends. It is the heart of the matter, the pain of the goodbyes, the hopes of the future of this child that is, ultimately, in the hands of the greater powers. I was blessed to be in the room when her son was born, she asleep in twilight slumber, a veil of dusk surrounding us all. Her son is now a college student. She is now 40, a wonderful mentor and teacher to young students, a mother of two more incredible boys. I hope and pray your friends find a biological mother as truly selfless is her. <br /><br />Blessings.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-90963261927540262262009-07-07T09:35:36.657-05:002009-07-07T09:35:36.657-05:00What a wonderful thing they are doing and yet so h...What a wonderful thing they are doing and yet so humbling.

There's nothing like having someone ask you to help them with something like this because they recognize your skills. I pray the right birth parent is drawn to your friends quickly and they can open their home to the little one they desire so much.<br /><br />AngelAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010424240956906870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-6454507044912558602009-07-07T06:43:55.055-05:002009-07-07T06:43:55.055-05:00Puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
