Mothers Success Stories

"I am so thankful to have found this site. I am the young mother (20) of a beautiful, 9 week old baby boy. During the end of my pregnancy, I started thinking adoption would be the best thing for my son because his father and I are not married and do not even get along. Now that he is in my life, I love him more then I could have ever imagined and wouldn't give him up for the world but sometimes wonder if I am doing the best thing for him. I have been looking for a site to give me the strength to believe I am doing the right thing. I have great support from my mom and all of my family which makes things a lot easier. I think I am doing the best thing and am going to be the best mother I can be. Thanks."
