Never in a Million Years
Adoption Success Story by MomAtLast.com |
I was married for 23 years, and during this time we had tried several avenues to adopt.
Unfortunately, I was the breadwinner and unable to be a stay at home mom - which ruled out several agencies.
Adopting an older child was an option, but again we ran into roadblocks.
By my late 30s, I had accepted the fact I would never be blessed with Motherhood.
In May 2011, my husband of 23 years announced he was leaving the marriage to pursue a young woman he met on the internet.
My world was shattered...
In August 2011 the phone rang. It was a call to changed my whole life.
My brother was on the line. He said
I have a friend who is having a baby boy and placing it for adoption. Are you still interested?
I had a hard time breathing when I spoke to the birth mother on the phone. Was she serious?
Was this all real? Would she like me? Would she care I was a 44-year-old single Mom?
Once a 44-year-old divorce' who had given up hope of becoming a mother, I am now a 45-year-old mother of a bouncing baby boy!
