To say that meeting our son’s birth mom was emotionally intense is an understatement.  Just 18 hours earlier, he was delivered into the world by an incredibly brave and desperately broken woman.

For the first time, we saw the woman whom God would use to bring us another little deliverer. Beyond the point of exhaustion from the year-long emotional hurricane that we had just survived, I was on the verge of a break down.

As she signed the paperwork, a death occurred.  The slightest hope that she would be able to parent was annihilated with the stroke of a pen.  And with that same signature came new life in the form of a family which just grew by one.

In her brokenness, she loved him enough to give him a chance at a better life. She is the picture of humility and my heart continues to grieve for her loss.

Additionally, our family is indebted to her forever.  She gave us a son.
