I’m a young, single adoptive mama who made the decision to take in a baby on my own and while I wouldn’t trade it for the world, there are moments when it weighs on my heart. Sometimes I wonder if I was being selfish… knowing he might grow up without a father. Maybe one day that’ll change, but love hasn’t come easy for me.
He’s only 8 months old right now, so he doesn’t understand any of it yet. But I think about the future, about Father’s Day, or those little “Dad’s Day” events at school and it tugs at me. I just hope he always knows how deeply he is loved, and that even if it’s just me for now, he will never feel like he’s missing anything.

Just know your baby is in a better place in a home with love that you have to give him. Many children grow up in a household with a mother and a father and yet suffer from lack of love and care. It doesn't matter that you are a single mother. You are doing the best you can for this little guy. 💪🏻❤️
