I am so sorry to just now commenting on this heart wrenching writing from you. I’m just now seeing your story! You are such a strong and brave woman! Made my heart hurt for you sweet friend! I pray you two will meet soon! I have a story to tell you about adoption, but will send it in messenger Wednesday. Reply
What a sad, but beautiful story of a Mother’s love. It hurt my heart to read, but I pray that sweet girl had a wonderful life with her adoptive parents. We, as parents, make mistakes raising children and at the time of stressful situations feel like we are making the “best” decisions for them. It’s hard being a parent! Love and hugs.

Debbie – Thank you for sharing what’s in your heart. I pray that you will meet up with your girl in this life or the next and it will be wonderful. Sending ❤ your way 😘 Reply
Debbie, what a sad but beautiful story. I’m so sorry. I hope you meet your daughter again this side of Heaven. You are so strong and brave and everything you’ve been through has made you who you are today, helping other women! I’m sorry you went through this when you were so young. My mom’s birthday is Valentine’s Day. She passed away right before Christmas a year ago at age 89. It’s hard to think of the day as anything except mom’s birthday! Thank you for sharing your story! I’m praying for you and I know I won’t forget next year when it rolls around again. I’ll be saying extra prayers for you, sweet friend!❤️ Reply

Well written Debbie it’s coming from the heart…I have read this story before!! I have follower you for 8 years…..Prayers….Love, Marianna Reply
Oh Marianna, thank you! Yes, you have been with me several years now it was 8 years last month that I started the original, Oh So Shabby By Debbie Reynolds. Boy have I shared somethings and grown in that time. We all have in ways, I know that I get emails daily from people sharing the changes they have been through with me and the changes they see in me. Have a wonderful weekend my friend. Love, Debbie Reply
My firstborn is an adoptive momma. She is aware every single day of the sacrifice that allowed her to fill the desires of her heart. She is mom to a boy and a girl. My grandkids are fortunate, they’re able to know their birth moms. And their birth moms are fortunate to have my daughter raising their precious children because of her love for them and gratitude for their sacrifice. My father was adopted and never knew his birth family or why he was given up for adoption. I pray as my grandchildren grow up and realize what it means to be adopted they will recognize the genuine love of both mothers and how blessed they are Reply
I sense a very personal post that might be part of your own life. It reads like a story the writer personally experienced. Extremely well written Debbie. Reply
so heartbreaking. I hope the mother finally got a chance to see her daughter, to hold her and tell her how much she was loved. Reply
A heartbreaking decision on the young Mother’s heart was a joyous occasion for the parents that had longed for a baby in their arms…I heard a message the other day, that said even babies born unexpectedly was a gift from God, because He knows how many have a longing for a child and are not able to conceive…thought that was an awesome perspective ❤️😘 Reply
