The day was January 26, 1994…

I was a senior in high school.  I had decided 3 months earlier that the best thing for me was to give my son that I was pregnant with up for adoption.  I chose the parents in October and called and gave them the news on Thanksgiving Day 93.  They have always been very sweet to me. They did not have to have contact with me after he turned 5 but they have always stayed in touch. 

 

Geoffrey is now 18 and graduating high school next Thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I am so blessed to be invited to fly to Florida and watch his get his diploma.  I am just overjoyed when I think about it.
