This guest post is by Andrea, a birthmother.
I love you so very much. Nothing has or will ever change it.
Finding out I was carrying you and making the adoption plan for you was the scariest thing I’ve ever been through.
It has also been the best that’s ever happened to me too.
I made an adoption plan for you because you were and are always my number one priority.
Every decision I made in our adoption plan was for your benefit.
Not being able to be your mom doesn’t mean I don’t love you any less. It’s quite the opposite.
It breaks my heart that I was not ready to be your mom. But I handpicked your parents because I knew they’d be the best.
I’ll always be in your corner, your number one advocate and biggest fan.
I absolutely love watching you grow and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.
I know it’s only going to get better.
You are the love of my life and I never want you to forget what a light and joy you are to me.
