The radio personality I listen to in Atlanta, Ryan Cameron, reached out to this young lady he saw begging for change one day at a gas station. Something (God) made him stop and ask her about her situation as to why she was begging for money. He listened as she told him about being in homeless after being in an abusive relationship, having one small child with another one on the way. The story moved him so he shared with his listeners. The lady has since had her baby, a little girl which she is planning to put up for adoption. I too was touched by her story..that I have to blog about it.
When we were slaves, we were forced to give up our babies, so it breaks my heart when I see someone in this day and age choosing to giving their baby away. I know we like to think that it is for the best, but how can that be 'best'~ being taken away from your family?
That constant nagging, empty feeling. Who am I? Where do I come from? These are the things that she is gonna ask once she realizes that she is adopted.
I know that my feelings are deeply rooted in our history, but something just feels wrong about a baby being taken from it's mother/family. Is there not anyone in her family that can help her keep her baby? I just can't see that.
I pray that whatever road this baby has to travel is filled with lots of love. It just has to, because she go so many of Ryan's fans pulling for her and her Mom.
Sorry, just me being random again.
Peace and Love!!
