what a blessing open adoption is

I am a single mother of two. My daughters' are seven years and 11 months old. I was 20 when I had my first daughter and completely unprepared. I knew absolutely nothing about adoption and so I took on the role of young, scared parent. My girls have struggled with me, even more so now with the economic crisis. I believe in my heart that if a show had existed like adoption diaries back when I was pregnant, selfless decisions for my children would have been made on their behalves. I imagine now how much more successful and happy they would have been if given the opportunity to thrive in a two parent home with a prepared, welcoming and loving set of parents and how much easier that decision would have been knowing that I get to be involved in their lives as they grow up. Now that i'm aware of this show, someday I would like to experience adopting a child when i'm on my feet which I would not have before this show came about. Thank you wetv and independent adoption center for opening my eyes to the beauty of creating one family out of two
