Jennifer Gilmore: My Bridge to Nowhere

adoption

This story is heartrending. I feel hopeful that this beautiful young woman and her husband will find the baby they hope for. Women who get pregnant easily don't realize how painful it must be for women who wait and hope for a child. I pray the Lord will bless her with a baby soon.

I find the story hilarious....

The story is hilarious.....but if I wrote why it was hilarious the teeming screaming angry mobs of prospective upper middle class white adoptive parents would find me and have me quartered.

I know enough not to explain.

Learning About a Secret Adoption

I would like a comment. So sad because there are so many sides of agnony with each person involved. Pregency is forever - for life.
It never goes away.

In my case, I was over 50 before I learned my aunt is in reality my birth mother. How many years of lies - a life time went by as I grew up.

I was never a promotor of abortion but as I look backm it might have been the best solution. My fice children had to deal with multiple medical concerns sometimes without benefit of pharm insurance.

My aunt, in herearly 90's is healthy no ADHD, food allergies, celiac disease,or weight issues all that at one time or another my children and or myself have dealt with for many years.

I am more angry than anything else. I am asumming the pregnancy came from excess fun at a Company Christmas party. She worked a r ich family owned company that had dirty fingers everywhere.
Some people say push for money. I am just angry, angry, angry.
Lies never help anyting and she in my eyes is a coward. She could have given me up but she choose the selfish way for her.
She could see me but not deal with the dirt of childhood.
Curses to her and more curses to he that sinned.
