Sad, Grieving, and Happy Heart

Yesterday was the one month mark for us as a family. I get a call from my friend who knows the birth family. The birth mom signed the papers today saying the she is not going to contest for her child to be adopted. My friend was there explaining to her and making sure she knew what she was signing and they said she did. She signed them with tears streaming down her face. I should be soooooo happy but my heart is breaking for this young lady. As I sit here and type this entry tears are running down my face as well. My heart has always been to help the hurting "at risk" young ladies in this world and here I have helped her out and her baby but yet at the same time I am causing her much grief. I know in my heart that this is what is right and I am so glad to be this little girl's mother. Dreams to come true but they come at a cost. I just want to say "Thank You".
