Hi everyone I'm new to this site. I'm here to tell my story and to find other birthmoms I can talk to.
I found out I was pregnant end of sept. Begining of oct I was pregnant, I knew I didn't want an abortion but I was tourn between keeping my baby or putting my baby up for adoption. Once I found out I was pregnant I told my boyfriend at the time now he is my fiance, when I told him he was really excited and picked names out in a week. It took me a week to tell my family and once I did they kept telling me adoption is for the best of my child. But it took me until I had about 3 months left of being pregnant to really look at everything and see that adoption was the right thing for my child. While my fiance was out in NC getting out of the army, he was staying with some friends of his and the wife of his friend and I were talking and she mentioned she had a aunt who was unable to have children and is wanting to adopt real bad, so I went down there for a week the last month of my pregnancy to go meet the family,my fiance loved them and I fell in love with them too. I came back home and kept in contact with the family and we decided it was best for me to go out there to have my baby. So about a week or so after I got home from meeting the family the adoptive father of my son drove from NC to MN to pick me up.
Once we got out there I was due in a week or so, I was due may 31st 2010 but my son just didn't want to come out, so I got induced on June 7th 2010 and my fiance and the adoptive mom was there with me, I pushed for about 5 hours but nothing was changing so I went in for a c-section and my son was born June 8th 2010 at 5:34am, I let the adoptive parents choose his name and his name is Chase Alan Pittman! He is already almost 4 months already, I call the family every month on the 8th to see how they are all doing. He is doing great growing like a weed and they call him chunky monkey. We are hoping to go out and visit them in-between Christmas and new years this year, if not Then for his 1st birthday. It was a hard this to choose adoption but I know chase has a wonderful family who loves him and who we love and thank for letting us keep in contact with them and chase.

Welcome Coley,
I am fairly new here as well. New to a.com but not new to being a firstmom.
Can someone please tell me how to get started looking for my son. I know very little about computers, and even less about how to navigate this site. I am looking for my son, who was born in 1953.
Thank you
