Adoption By Beata Leighton When a woman finds out she’ll be a mother, she’s expected to love and to care. To offer comfort, support, and hope, to the child she soon has to bear. When a woman finds out she’ll be a mother, she might sink to the ground and sob. Without a partner, advice, or cash, she can’t have a child with no job. When a woman finds out she’ll be a mother, her heart is in the right place. She deals with the pain, fights through the loss, and puts a smile on another woman’s face.
