I remember the day my middle son (oldest kept son) came home from school upset that a friend had just found out she was pregnant and going to give the baby up for adoption. He did not know about my first son and I had often questioned how to tell him, talk about God opening the door and shoving me through! Anyway, to make a long story short, we had a very long heartfelt conversation that afternoon about his older brother and what he might be like and how much my middle son had lost out on due to the decisions my family made for me. He was extremely mad at the choices that were pushed on me, but also understood that I would not have had the support needed to raise his brother, that I did not find out I would have had support till long after it was too late. <br />We also talked about the pros and cons of all of the choices his friend could make when it comes to this little child’s life. Then I explained to him that what might be right for him may not be right for her, that “she” needs to make the choice, not a counselor, her friends or her family; that in the end, she is the one that she will be the on raising this child. I also explained that he needed to be there to listen and not push and that our family would help in any way we could, even if it was just to listen. <br />She decided to keep her little guy and raise him on her own, grandma stepped up and is a regular part of their lives. I love running into them at the store and hearing how he’s giving her a run for her money and wreaking havoc wherever he goes because her face lights up with love whenever she starts talking about both of her babies (married and second child now). <br />First parents, birth parents, biological parents, or whatever we’re being called this week, we’re not all drug addicts, raised without morals, or uneducated… we’re people that love our children and have made the choice to give our children a different life than what we could give them, we pray that the family that is chosen for them will love them and raise them as their own. Give that young lady a high five for me and a big thank-you for defending first parents.<br />A Season For Every Activityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725806504391497181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902279825256365481.post-45907898212314603482012-02-18T10:07:08.447-06:002012-02-18T10:07:08.447-06:00Bravo to your daughter!
