A Mix Of Emotions
The entire pregnancy leading up to the very moment in the delivery room, Gina had a mix of emotions. She couldn’t help but think that this was supposed to be happy money as she was bringing a beautiful life into the world. She explained, “It was a mix of grief and happiness… but knowing what was coming after, a lot of heartaches.” This teenager was going through a lot in such a short space of time.
Her Little Butterfly
She recalled, “She spent a night with me and my family in my parents’ home before placing her the next day,” “Having time with her outside of the hospital helped a lot.” On the day that Gina needed to give up little Kalyn for adoption, she wrote a beautiful poem called, ‘My Little Butterfly,’ which spoke about the sacrifice she made and how tough it was for her.
