To Feel Whole And Not Broken. Is This Possible??

I placed my son for adoption almost 20 years ago. I was only 17 and did not feel like I was capable of providing for a child. The hardest thing I have EVER done. I died a little on the inside. My heart literally hurt and I felt sadness like I had never imagined. A few days after his birth, I changed my mind. I couldn’t take it anymore. “It’s too late” is what I was told. My hearthas not felt whole since. I thought when I had my own children the hurt would get better. ………

To Be Honest I am Mad….

Dear Birth mom,

…I’m writing a book. I have a couple of ideas on the title of the book, but don’t wish to share them at this time. The book is written in two parts.

My Birthmom Was A Strong Woman

Dear Birthmother,

“The Reasons Why My Open Adoption Relationship Works.”
By Roanne Olsen

The first time we met, his parents shared pictures of their house and dog with me. They also asked all about my life...READ MORE HERE
