"Making a decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." ~ Elizabeth Stone
I couldn't have said it better myself. Every time I look at her, my heart aches. I often wonder...is this how my mom felt when she got me? Is this how my birth mom felt, too? I can't even begin to imagine how hard it was for my birth mom to give me up if she felt even a tenth of what I feel for my kids. I'm so glad my mom's got to meet, it was one of the most emotional days of my life, other than giving birth.
