Lots of Babies
I e-mailed the agency to see what was happening over there. They have been very busy with babies being born and placed. I love to hear that they are busy (for selfish reasons) but it's also sad to know there are so many young girls out there unable to parent. Adoption is really a double edged sword.
Once when, I was in my early 20s, i had dinner with a girl that grew up across the street from me. We had been friends because of convienience really but we hadn't seen eachother in a long time and she wanted to show off her rich husband. She had married the guy who was to inherit the family business. The only thing is - his family owned quite a few funeral parlors in our city. I remember her saying at the time that they "loved to hear the scream of the ambulances down the street....it meant more business". It was meant to be a joke but I found it tasteless. How could anyone like that other people were suffering for their benefit? In a way I feel bad praying for someone to want to place their child for the same reason. I know it's a little different but I don't like the fact that one person has to give something precious up for our sake. God our Father, in His infinite wisdom, knows us and knows our hearts. He also knows I would never want to hurt someone so that our lives could be better......

I always felt bad that someone else's pain would become our joy, that some person would have to give up their precious child in order for us to have one. Our social worker reminded me that we weren't taking anything from our daughter's birth mom; she was giving a gift to us. She also pointed out that the expectant mom was doing it because she wanted to. It was her choice. Although it was very difficult for her, she told our social worker that she liked the fact that she was doing such a wonderful thing for us.
Try not to be too hard on yourself. Wishing for a child does not mean that you are wishing harm or pain on someone else. It simply means that you are hoping to be chosen by someone who is looking for a wonderful home for her child.
I hope you will be chosen soon!
