By God’s grace, I was adopted by two wonderful parents who loved me deeply. I was four months old when they picked me up from the orphanage, and they are the only parents I’ve ever known. I never grew up feeling like something was missing. I never felt some deep longing to find my biological parents. I had a mom and dad who loved me, cared for me, sacrificed for me, and gave me a wonderful home.

Althea's Story
I was actually adopted so I grew up with a lot of exposure to adoption and my family was very open about it. It was never something that we didn’t talk about. My brother was adopted too. I found out I was pregnant in 2019 when I was 17. I freaked out and set a timer on my phone for 2 hours. I was like I will give myself 2 hours to cry and then I’ll figure out what to do.

The decision to place a child for adoption is one of the most profound and emotional choices a mother can make. It’s a unique kind of grief that often lives quietly in the background, misunderstood by many. It is not the absence of love that drives this decision, but the overwhelming presence of it—a love so deep, it’s willing to let go.

The greatest gift I have received in my life was my adoptive parents Ralph and Lucille. Amazingly, it was my birth Mom MaryAnn who gave me this gift, one I am forever grateful for. Every young woman who finds herself in this position has a choice to make, I love MaryAnn for saving my life first and foremost, and then choosing adoption when she was not prepared to care for me herself.
