THE GIFT OF UNCERTAINTY
When I found out I was pregnant with Brandon it was definitely a time of uncertainty. What was I going to do? I was already a single parent of two kids struggling to make it. His birth father wanted me to get an abortion. This option just didn’t feel right to me. I’m pro-choice but I had a voice inside me telling me that I was strong enough to choose adoption.
I did a search online for adoption agencies and I found a place called Friends in Adoption. They had profiles of people hoping to adopt. I searched for hours before I came across a couple that seemed perfect for Brandon. They were music teachers, close with their families, and had a big yard. I knew I wanted them to be Brandon’s parents.
Flash forward to today. Brandon has a beautiful life and I have extended my family to the East Coast. I couldn’t imagine my life and the boys’ lives without Brian and Don in it. Our lives are all fuller all thanks to Brandon.
Prayer: Dear God, walk beside me as I take this journey through the dark woods. Guide me to live more wholeheartedly in your name. Amen
