Diary of a Birthmom, page 3

You are changing me for the better

01-Mar-2000
We had the birth parent panel last night. It was emotionally draining but good. I feel like I'm abandoning you, though.


02-Mar-2000
They're going to give all of us a copy of the video from the birth parent panel. My suite mate's adoptive parents renamed the baby. I feel protective of you. I'm sending the video to my mom and sister. I was imagining what you would look like. My sponsor thinks I might change my mind. Another girl and I couldn't sleep so we had biscuits at 4 a.m. I get up about four times during the night to eat. I feel like you are changing me for the better.

If one more person asks me why I'm placing you for adoption, I'm going to choke them! I went to a meeting and that helped.


07-Mar-2000
I volunteered to be interviewed by The Washington Times and have my picture taken. I've been thinking about what I should say or not say.

I've been depressed today about the adoption. I can't pick out APs till May. A resident and I are working on a newsletter for Gladney. I'm going to do a profile book for your APs. I talked to my mom last night.
