With it being Mother's Day, I think this song is so appropriate. A lot of people know I am adopted but don't know the whole story behind everything my MOTHER went through. Her and my dad got married and of course like any other newly married couple....they wanted to have children. The doctors told my mother she wouldn't bable to carry a child, so they decided to adopt. My mom was telling me how excited they were to get their first child and the week before the mother decided to keep and close adoption wih my parents. I asked why....she said that the child's father told the mother she would regret later down the road. Of course when you think about the situation of a young woman giving up her baby it could be hurtful BUT how do you tell a soon to be mom she can't have what she had been praying for??? Well that didn't stop them from trying again so they went through another adoption and excitement of having a family. My dad got a call at work on a Monday morning and the lady form the adoption agency said " I'm sorry but the baby you and Cathy were promised had died and so did the mother." Another devestation for my parents but they NEVR gave up and went back to adopt one more time. They both prayed that if this adoption didn't pull through then it wasn't meant to happen ..........I was born on Saturday Feb 2, 1980 and then 4 days later they adopted me!!!! You know I think about everything she went through and how God was there the whole time. It amazes me!!! My mom told me in tears today that she hit the floor and begged God to please help her. He was there the whole time and you know she even thought about taking her own life. Thank You Jesus we still have her and what a survivor she is. She has been through a lot and she is so special to me.
I was born at Greenville General Hospital and adopted by Cathy and Jesse Owens. They had been married for 7 years and I was told by many how emotional and happy my parents were to bring me home that blizzard day. My bilogical mother was 39 when she gave birth to me, (I know kinda scary huh?) I was told she was on drugs and a alcoholic. She didn't know the father of me and she didn't care to have anything to do with the adoption. This was a private adoption meaning that my parents could NOT get any medical records from her or doctors. Still to this day we can't retrieve anything other than my last name (which is a little funny) and my first name was:::BABY
Many people ask me if I get mad or upset about my bilogical mother not caring for me or not wanting to be apart of my life......the answer is NO!!!!!! I'm all the day grateful that she chose to give me life and to a wonderful mom and dad that love me unconditionally.
"My Mother"....so cute!!! ;) lol (she is going to kill me)
This is my mother and father when they adopted me ;) God Bless them!
My Granny (mom's mom)....We miss you and luv you so much!!! Born 1918- In Heaven May 2006
I feel so blessed on this Mother's Day because the one person who I thought would want me didn't...... but GOD was in control. My mother, who Cathy Owens - wiped my butt, dried my tears, made my supper and so much more!!!!! I have been given a Gift from God that NO ONE can take away from me. So this Mother's Day I want to thank my mother for EVERYTHING!!!! Word's can not express how much she means to me and everyday I pray to God and thank God that I still have her. My mom is a miracle, a survivor, a best friend, a wife, a sister, a WONDERFUL friend to everyone and the BEST MOTHER ;) I wouldn't change it for the world!
"When they place you in my arms and I looked into your face I felt our hearts melt into one ~ a miracle took place. My prayer was finally answered. Though delayed, 'twas not denied ~ the pain of love unanswered, in a moments time subsides. God's plan seemed hard to understand. The circle's now complete. He placed the Heavens in my arms, so precious and sweet. Though you grew within another, my soul and yours were one. We united in God's loving heart before life had begun. I received a priceless treasure ~ this adopted child I love... a gift of joy and happiness to me from God Above."
You're the reason why I'm here today, the reason for why I know what I know, and the reason why I feel loved! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH MOM..... and Happy Mother's Day!!!I feel so blessed on this Mother's Day because the one person who I thought would want me didn't...... but GOD was in control. My mother, who Cathy Owens - wiped my butt, dried my tears, made my supper and so much more!!!!! I have been given a Gift from God that NO ONE can take away from me.
