Welcome Home

I am not a counselor; therefore I cannot offer professional advice or take responsibility for anyone else's life by my own. What I can offer though are words of encouragement and wisdom from my own journey - a journey of healing that is ongoing and lifelong. I am a 44 year old birthmother. Twenty one years ago, there was no venue for me to express my grief and receive the support from others who had walked in my shoes years before. I created this blog for that very purpose. I want to share my story with you - the highs and lows, the memories, the heartache, the joy – and encourage you to keep on. On this page, you will find inspirational songs, birthmother stories, buttons connecting you to additional birthmother support and to faith-based websites and sources for professional help . Together, let's celebrate the heroic choice that each of us has made to put the precious life of another human being before our own. Welcome home!

Horrified!

"No sin goes unpunished."

These are the words that I found decorating the top of another birthmother blog tonight. Although this is a true statement, I'm not sure why they chose to focus on it. How does this uplift and affirm a woman that has made one of the most sacrificial decisions she could ever make to carry a precious child for nine months instead of choose abortion. Dear birthmothers who are reading these words, it is true that no sin goes unpunished (whether it was an unwise time to have sex or if sex was forced on you). But the fact that you chose life for your child says far more about your character. Be encouraged. Thousands of people stand beside you in your brave decision.
