Eleven

11 months. Can you believe it? As I reflect on this past year I can't help but get a little teary eyed. I am just so eternally grateful Heavenly Father put so
much trust in me at a time I didn't feel any worth. Noah was the answer to so many of our prayers! I just can't believe how much little Noah has grown up. He is growing up to be such a handsome little man and he is the light to all of our lives. I am so grateful to call myself his birth mom and be a part of his and his families lives. I love them all so much. Happy almost one year my little love.

My Adoption Story

Image
I am a sister. I am a friend. I am a daughter. I am a birth mother. And this is my adoption story. I found out I was pregnant December, 2012. Two days after Christmas. For many years, I was struggling. Struggling with finding happiness. Struggling with who I was and who I wanted to be. Struggling with finding my place with my LDS religion I was born and raised into. Struggling with my own personal battles. I wanted to find happiness, and everywhere I looked I couldn't find my place. I couldn't be around people who "uplifted me" because I felt so guilty of the choices I was making at the time. The people I did surround myself with, only just brought me down. I became this person I wasn't raised to be. This person I didn't even recognize anymore. I was lost, confused, and most of all alone. I went to my mother a couple days before Christmas 2012 and told her I wanted to change. I didn't want to feel this way anymore, and I wanted to find myself again. Whatev...

LIFE

Image
Life is really interesting. It's filled with so many ups and down, highs and lows, happy and sad moments. One moment I feel strong and confident that I can get through this, this is just another trial that I can face, and one I will eventually get through. But the next moment I just think to myself, "I am not as strong as I thought. How am I supposed to go on when I feel like I am missing a limb." I look at other birth moms and I sometimes just feel they are so much stronger than me. A birth mom told me something the other day that really stuck out to me. She told me our babies chose to come to this life, and knew what they were to be getting themselves into. Noah chose me to bring him to this world and trusted me to find his family. It instantly brought tears to my eyes. Sometimes I feel like this unimportant machine that was just used to carry and deliver him and place him with his family. But the fact that he chose me and trusted me helps me feel more important. I may ...

One Year

Image
Yesterday marked one year since the birth of Noah. As I reflect on this past year, I can't help but to feel so lucky & so grateful.  These are a few things I am grateful for: 1. The atonement. I can't begin to express how much I love the atonement. I was able to have a fresh new start & for that I am so grateful we can be completely forgiven and renew ourselves and come out stronger than ever before.  2. It's hard to put into words just the amount of love I have for Noah & how grateful I am that he came to me at a time I needed him. I truly believe his first mission in life was to be born through me and save me. I am grateful we will always be a part of eachothers lives. 3. The Danielsons. This is another love I can't quite put to justice. It's a bond I've never quite had before. It's just so trusting and filled with so much love for eachother and for Noah. I couldn't be more pleased with my decision to choose them & they...
