Well I had an exciting Valentines day. The night before I had trouble sleeping... Let me take you back about 9 years first... I had a baby in Sept of 97... My husband at the time was a loser and was never home... he would come home only when it was good for him... he denied the baby all the time... As a matter of fact the first time he ever seen his daughter she was only 2 days old but he was drunk as fuck... yeah way to go right... anyways I had her up until she was 5 mths old... I decided that I couldn't be a mother and give my daughter the things she needed... I found some people that wanted to adopt my daughter...
Ok now back to presant day... Here I am the morning of valentines day... Like 2 AM... can't sleep... I get up and decide that I am going to look for these people... I mean after all it is an open adoption... I found them under a school email... not completely sure if it was them or not, but took that chance... So I sent them an email telling them all about my life and my new daughter... well she is 3 years old but she is new to them...
The mother emailed me back... not only that but she called me... I was totally shocked... of course I wasn't home when she called... but I did get a chance to talk to her still... She told me all about my daughter... It had been 8 years since I had talked to these people or seen what my daughter looked like... It was always hard for me to swallow the fact that I gave my baby up so I didn't want any contact because I figured it would be hard for me...
My daughter is constantly asking about me... My name came up two times that day... My daughter found the letter that I wrote her before I left and then asked for the baby book that I started doing... she wanted to take it to school... I bought her this pink elephant before I left her... Her mother says she takes that thing to school every year for show and tell... Knowing that my daughter asks about me and wants to know made me so happy... That was the best day of my life... I hadn't felt that good for a long time... :) I thought I would share that with all of you though...
Here is a picture of my 9 year old... I know she doesn't look like me that much... She takes more after her dad... I thought they baby switched me at the hospital, but they didn't... there was only one other lady there that had a baby... actually she had twins... she has my youngest daughter's smile... :)
