My name is Kelsey and I am 15 years old. I am the middle child out of my 4 sisters: Tiffany; Jessica; Anna, and Mcgraw. My mother was left with two options when it came to her pregnancy with my two baby sister's Anna and Mcgraw. She could keep them and continue to struggle in life not being able to cater to them or provide them with the life they deserved, or put them up for adoption with a family who could give them what they needed both mentally and physically. I was really looking forward to being a big sister, but I knew that adoption was the right thing to do.

I am currently placed in Foster Care Services due to not being provided for in the right way. I thank the LORD every night that adoption was the choice my mother made for my sisters. I look at the photos of my sisters and I can see happiness radiate in their faces.  I would rather know that they are happy even though it means we will never have the sibling bond.  I often wonder if my mother decided to keep them, how they would be struggling as I am today.  As you can see my experiences with adoption has been wonderful.

If you are pregnant, and not ready to be a mother, I recommend adoption over abortion.  Give the gift of life to a family if you know you are not prepared to provide fora  child.  It is an amazing experience getting to meet the adoptive parents.  Through adoption, you get to see a dream come true for another family.

I have little to no contact with Mcgraw's adopted family, but I am really close with the new parents of my other baby sister, Anna. I can honestly say I couldn't be happier knowing they are nurturing my baby sister. They treat her like a queen and she is a very happy child. I know I may be young, but I know truths when I see them. And the biggest truth is that adoption is a miracle for many families. As a birth mother, only you can make a wonderful decision for your child with adoption.
