'The hardest part is leaving a visit and not knowing if there even will be a next time.'
. Although she couldn't take care of her baby herself, she still wanted the best for him.
In December 2015, Kelsey met a family she really connected with via an adoption attorney."We got to know each other, and I really liked them. They felt familiar to me," recalled Kelsey."I really liked the dad. Of course, that was something, even if I parented, I couldn't provide [my son] with. It was really important to me to find someone who was going to be a good father. My personality was similar to the mom's, and they already had a child.
However, this period of time was also extremely difficult for Kelsey."It was also tragic because you know this is your last time where your child is yours," she said."The first hour when they held him up to me was bliss like I've never felt before. It sounds so cliché to say, but you just didn't know you could feel that way about anyone."
"We have visits. It's nice because I do get to see him grow up in little snippets, but it's very hard at the same time," she explained."It's very difficult to leave a visit, and you don't know how long you can be mentally down after the visit, especially in the beginning. The first year is so hard. I remember after my second visit, I was down for months, it was really hard to come back up. The deep depression is really dark.
