I had to stay in the hospital for an extra two days and the adoption agency came to get my son. They didn’t know I was still there. I remember coming out of my room and I see this woman carrying my son down the hall. And I said, “Where are you going with him?” And she looked at me and said, “Why?” And I said, “Because that’s my son!” And she went, “I’m so sorry. I’m from the adoption agency.” I still remember, I grabbed on to the blanket and I lay on the floor pulling at it. I still have dreams about it.
