About Me

Well Hi there. 

If you haven't read already I am Jena. I am a Birth Mom of 17 years, a single mother. 

I am an advocate of adoption, the love it possesses, the possibilities of joy, and life after placement.  

I don't pretend to think that adoption is something for everyone. I don't pretend to think that everyone should choose adoption. But, I do believe adoption has a bad wrap. I believe that this should be one of those BIG HUGE, ABSOLUTE first options if someone is considering abortion.

Jena - The Birth Mom.

I became pregnant at the bold age of 18. I was a Senior in High School, dating a boy out of high school.  I didn't think I was invisible. But I also never even thought about getting pregnant.  I had never been sexually active and was one of the "good girls" in school. I had lots of friends and enjoyed school(mostly). 

At 19 I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. He saved my life. I sacrificed my heart, and soul so that he could have a future.  He deserved the best, and that is why I chose adoption.  I handpicked his mom and dad, and couldn't have asked for a better couple.

When he was 3 days old, I placed him, alongside the Birth Father, into the arms of his Mom & Dad.

It was the most heartbreaking moment in my life. I still don't know how I got through it.  Well, I do know how my Father in Heaven.  It was truly by the love and strength of Him, that this happened.

 I have gone through joy, hate, pain, melancholy, and every emotion you can imagine in 10 years. 

But there isn't one thing I would change about my story.  It has made me who I am.

Jena - The Mom

I get to be called Mom by 4 littles. Littles, I like to call; Louis, Roo, Bubba, & Lenny and I spend my days either pulling out my hair or non-stop giggling.  They each have their own personality that is absolute. They are the light of my life and the most difficult things I've ever had to take care of.  But I get to be their mom. They are the best things ever. I get to work close to home and be with them every day! Being a single mom is challenging, but these littles are worth everything!
