When I was younger, I used to have this reoccurring dream where I was older (like the age I am now I guess) and randomly met a little girl and knew in that moment that she was my daughter. That I had given birth to this child and she had been taken from me without my knowledge. I'm pretty certain that no mother out there has ever given birth unknowingly, but that's the feeling in this dream every time. That I know without hesitation just by looking at her (it's always a girl, around age 2) that she's mine. She's part of me.
A weird dream, for sure. But today at brunch with a dear friend, I realized that this might have been me acknowledging adoption might be the way we add a tiny human to our family. True, these dreams were occurring way before I was ready to have children, before I knew fertility was an issue, and certainly before I had even met Porch, but what a bizarre feeling. I haven't had this dream in a while but just thought I'd put it out into the universe. :)
Karma, and whatnot.
