I've shared my mom's story a few times on booj when adoption comes up. It's very heavy, but you're welcome to read it anytime. I do mean heavy. I'll link you if you do.
<3. Sending you a lot of love. My mom was a first mom too.
I would love to read it!! When adoption first came into my life I would literally spend hours finding anything I could about it. I found a lot of the birthmom blogs and communities were VERY religion based and while I am not one to judge anyone for their beliefs, I just couldn't let my guard down enough to get immersed into it. All I would read is "Jesus this, God that" and it would make me angry.
Even six years later, I still read/watch anything based on adoption. I would love to see the perspective of a birth mom who hasn't had the same outcome I did. Thank you so much!
How awful.. The losing a son twice line has had me crying off and on for the last two hours. Did she receive pictures of him when he was older, so she knew what he had looked like? The stigma of shame that was placed on these poor girls makes me ill. Like some dirty secret that needs to stay hidden no matter what. My heart hurts for your Mom.
Are you allergic to any nuts or anything? I don't mean to come off as cocky but I make the best granola ever.All from scratch.. even down to infusing the honey with raspberries & lemon a week before I use it. (now I sound REALLY cocky. lol)
If you aren't allergic I will sooo send you some of it.

Her story is here. She is one of a generation of girls who were "sent away". It's a very sad story.
I also have a my mom tag. She's so great.
