Motherhood: A True Story of Love - DivineCaroline

I was in my late twenties when I was blessed with this experience, though she?wasn?t conceived in a loving
marriage, but rather as a result of a violent rape, didn?t take away?from my love for the innocent child, even before
she was born. I quit smoking, and quit eating junk?food and I took my pre-natal vitamins to do everything possible
to have a healthy baby.?
?
Though I chose a Christian family to adopt her, my maternal instinct didn?t end the day we parted ways at the
hospital. I received pictures from the adoptive mother when their (my)?baby was three and six months old. At six
months the contact stopped, but not my love and?prayers for her to be happy, healthy and loved unconditionally.

Being a mother means different things to different people. To me a mother is a woman who puts the
emotional and physical welfare of her child above her own. Putting her dreams on hold. Some people may say or claim that a woman is only considered a mother if she raises a child whether her own or adopted. Others say that if you give birth to a baby you are a mother even if you place him or her for adoption. What makes me angry are
mothers who reproduce like rabbits because they get more money from the government, but are emotionally
bankrupt and neglect or abuse the children. There are teenagers who get pregnant from a one night stand. The girl doesn?t want the baby because it would cramp her social life.
?
There are Safe Havens that girls like this could take the baby with no questions asked. The baby would be cared for and hopefully placed in a secure home. Unfortunately instead they wrap it up and throw it in the dumpster along with the trash. Neither of these are good examples of being a mother.

Here?s my personal story.
I was in my late twenties when I was blessed with this experience, though she wasn?t conceived in a loving marriage, but rather because I became pregnant after being a victim of a violent rape, didn?t take away from my love for the innocent child, even before she was born. I quit smoking, eating junk food and I took my pre-natal vitamins to do everything possible to have a healthy baby. I considered all of my options: carry the baby to term then give the baby to a safe haven or raise the baby myself.
