Karla, your son is what he is because of your willingness to give him the chance. He IS a terrific person although you have much pain. But, Maybe it's time to let him go and let Karla have her life back again. We cannot go back in time, but even if we could, your decision was best for him AND FOR YOU! It's time to move on and become the best Karla you know.
Dearest Karla, please remember what it was like then, the circumstances that convinced you it would be better to let him be brought up by a loving couple who could care for all his needs. There are many who sacrifice in this same way to give their deeply loved child a better life.
God knew your pain then; He knows your longing now. Someday He may grant your heartfelt desire to meet your son; meantime, He is always with you to love you and to use your tender heart to touch the lives of others.
We cannot understand why God allows such suffering, but we can believe in His love for us and draw nearer to Him through our pain.
Much love and prayers for that reunion,
Connie
God knows his name, Karla. One thousand years is like a day to God; finish reading His Word, you'll see goodness prevails and a mother's tears turn to joy! LOL.sharon
So deeply sad yet so full of love, pure love. Your poem flows with graphic pain and resolution, and closes with much Hope that keeps the door open - for change. Thank you Karla.
I pray that you do find him, Karla. But now that he is a man, he might understand more readily what you have to say. You are in my prayers Karla.
May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie
Karla, I think GOd will show him that you loved him, loved him more than life itself, I am praying you get to reunite with the Son you so love, and deserve to be reunited with!!!!
In Christs Love

A touching write, Karla. I have a friend who faced this very pain. She met the baby who became a man...yes, the pain returned, but love was even stronger. They bonded well! A great write!
Karla, this strikes at the heart of me like the dagger of grief my dear friend. It is my sincere wish that the two of you are reunited. Surely your son will love you when he is aware of your story and gets to know the kindness and love for him that live in your heart. I bid you love and peace my dear friend. Jon Michael
Karla, so brave to tell of it,I can only pray you can have peace about it soon. We never know what God might do for us, so keep praying.I will pray too, that you can have closure one day,and put away guilt that you shouldn't have to bear.
Mark, it did happen to her, and it hurts her so badly. I wish it were fiction, but it's not. Karla, such a powerful, pain-filled read; I am so sorry you had to go through this! Well penned emotion!
(((HUGS))), much love, and prayers~
As always, your twin sister, Karen Lynn. :( ~Tears!~

ahhh..its very touching, Karla, is it for true ? Neerja
This is always such a terribly sad story: Children given to others to raise, usually, I would hope for the good of the child but this doesn't mean that there isn't a woman, that there isn't a mother that so yearns to see for herself the young man that child has grown to. I do hope, Karla, that this is but a poem and not what has come from out your life.

The familiar lament of dual-career parents raising children is, "I just can't do it all." The Libra Solution provides an alternative - a more satisfying and sustainable work and life approach - to the overwrought modern day norm.
