ANGELA'S STORY

I had my little girl Heaven-Lee-Grace on July 11 2005, though she goes by Grace.  She was a beautiful baby who blossomed into a beautiful girl.  I raised her for at least a year with a little help from my sister.  When I found out I was pregnant with Grace I had just lost her brother, my son, a week before.  So when they say God taketh and lord giveth it is so true.  He took my son but gave me a beautiful girl.  Though I was going through a traumatic time I had to be strong and deal with the pregnancy on my own.  When she was born I held her all the time.  When I got her home and she made the slightest cry I was up.  I would just get up to see if she was ok or I would take her out of the crib just so I could hold her. But there came a time when I fell into a financial rut and I had to make the best unselfish decision for my daughter.

 

My sister Misty mentioned her boss and his wife wanted to adopt so we set up a meeting.  I met them and they were the greatest people.  I don’t know whether they want me to mention their names but I am going to.  They are angels sent from heaven and they were sent to me and Grace!  They are Kelli and Doug.  When I saw Kelli and talked to her I knew she was born to be a mom and I knew my daughter would have the best life possible with them!  See Kelli had to have to have a procedure that prevented her from having kids and I couldn’t imagine not being able to be a mom so I felt it was right in my heart to allow her the gift of being what she was born to be!  Every day they prove to me that I didn’t make the wrong decision in picking them to as the adopted parents.

On Mother’s Day in 2008 I didn’t think I would get anything but Doug dropped off a present for me.  It was album of pictures of my daughter, her new parents and Grace’s little brother, Brandon, who Kelli and Doug adopted years before!  Also in the album was a card from Kelli and Doug thanking me for the gift I allowed them and reminding me that both Kellie and I were her mothers.  I gave her life and Kelli is the one giving her the life she deserves.  There was another card from Grace telling me she loves me!  That melted my heart cause even though my daughter isn’t with me I have pictures of her that will stay with me forever.  When I call Kelli she allows me to talk to Grace and even though I don’t tell Grace who I really am, it feels good to tell her I love her and she tells me she loves me so much.
