Sitting with Angels.....

What a night we had. Rock and I had the opportunity to speak at a birth mother support group class. It was amazing. To begin with, everyone went around the circle, and introduced themselves, and told a little of their story. Most of the women there have placed their babies. There were two grandmother's as well. There were two who were pregnant. One is due any day, and she has a family waiting, but the other is looking for the right family. Through laughter and tears we introduced ourselves, and shared a little bit about our family. We passed a bulletin board around filled with pictures. Just being in this room with these women was incredible. These have got to be the strongest women I have ever met. The spirit was so strong in that room. We were really sitting with angels last night. After the meeting was over we had the chance to sit and chat with one of the birth moms. What a sweetheart. Our lives are better because of her. It was so nice to listen and talk with her. She has big choices in front of her, and we wish her all the best. I can not emphasise enough how special our night was. Just seeing the other side was so enlightening. I love these women, and I wish I could go every week to hear their stories and know that they are well. What a night!
