What do I do?
Apr 28 '00
Its July of 1987 and I just found out that I am pregnant. What do I do? How do I tell my mother? My boy friend has left. What do I do? These questions were running though my head.
I waited in till I was 5 months pregnant before I told my mother. I don't know why I waited so long. Maybe its just that I didn't to disappoint her. Mom took me to the Doctors and I had to brake down and tell her the truth. She was so hurt, I could see it in her eyes. Plus she didn't talk to me the whole trip back from the Doctors office. It was the longest trip that I have ever taken with her.
Finally we talked about what I was going to do. Mom decided that the best thing I could do was give the baby up. I didn't want just anyone to have my baby. Mom had called her friend (she couldn't children) I ended up agreeing to give my child to her. Mom and her friend are getting all the papers ready for me to sign it was that easy to do.
As the day gets closer it gets hard to belive that in a few months I would have a child that would be but wouldn't be mine.
Its in how getting closer to my baby's due date. So mom's friend flies out here to be with me in the delivery room. March 1988 has arrived. I go into labor Sunday and end up in the hospital Monday and I deliver her on Tuesday at 1:05 in the afternoon. After all that labor I didn't have anything to show for it.
Mom's friend was really nice the day that my daughter left the hospital she brought her in and put her in my arms and left the room. I said my goodbye that day to my daughter. It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life.
Its been 12 years now. I have kept in contract with her mom and that has helped out quite a bit. If I have questions I call and if she has questions she calls. I have 3 other daughters now and they all know about her. In fact my oldest and the daughter that I gave up become pen pals it was her mothers idea. That has been the best think that has happen.
It was the best thing that I could do at that time for my daughter. I know she was and is taking care of. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about her.
I will not give out names of the people involved. Just know that she knows the truth and she is not upset about it.
