I will not forget you, I have your name carved on my palm....Isaiah 49
I will never forget how I feel at this moment. Am I even alive?

I am supposed to be holding you forever -protecting you. I know in so many ways I am protecting you.

From a life where you cannot be offered the best-and you my child deserve the best.

I feel empty. Empty womb. Empty heart. Empty arms.

Sometimes I feel a little bubble in my belly and for an instant I think it is my baby entertaining me again. Then the realization comes.

You sleep so peacefully now. You will not remember this moment, but I shall never forget.

No other will ever replace you. I will always hold special place in my heart with your name etched on it. You are my firstborn, my love.

Sometimes a mother must sacrifice for the sake of her child - give up her own heart. You are my heart, little one.

Forgive me, my child, for not being what you needed. Know always, that I love you!

Yes, I will see you again soon, but will your remember me? Will you know who I am? Maybe it is best you forget until you are old enough to understand. I will wait for that understanding my baby. I will wait forever for your love.

I feel as if I am slowly dying.

I am willing to give up my life for you,
but I would never take yours.

For this reason, I chose adoption.
