I was given up for adoption....

I was given up for adoption and I am pregnant for the first time. This week I found out I was pregnant and over these few days I keep saying to my husband I’ve been been so happy in my life.

Today as I am thinking about sharing the news with our family in a few weeks, I got really sad. I thought about how over the moon I am right now and wondered how my birth mother felt when she found out she was pregnant.

I’ve thought about before her giving me a life that is truly a fairy tale. I got an opportunity of a lifetime. Every day I work harder because I know I got a huge leap in life because I have a loving family, parents who were always supportive and I never had to experience true struggle like she might have.

I tried to look up stories of other Adoptees blogging their emotions through their first time pregnancy. If you are willing to share yours I would be willing to read as I couldn’t find much. I found more on reunions with both parents before this.

Please be kind
