I lied. I'm not going to write about my opinions on politics. They have caused enough problems on facebook! It's been actually pretty funny to watch my liberal and conservative friends argue. It's weird having very liberal views on some things and very conservative views on others. It's also weird being more left wing than most of my church friends, and more right wing than my work friends.
Anyway.
Here's something I DO want to write about. Yesterday I had the opportunity to witness a brave, selfless mother place her child for adoption. I had been with her when she made the decision to place, and she had asked me to be with her when the time came for her to send the baby home with his new family. It definatley ranks up there in the top 2 emotional days at work. It was so sweet to watch the two mothers interact with each other- they both cared deeply for this baby and each other. This baby is so lucky. He has so many people who love him. Especially his birth mom, who knows she can't provide the life she wants for him. She also has such a love for the adoptive couple. Ever since she picked the couple, she has talked about them non stop and how happy she is to be able to bless them with a baby. I have so much love and respect for this young woman and all birth moms out there. They are amazing, amazing people.
