	A spiritual and emotional journey from a mother’s perspective, focusing on the ups and downs of raising a "special needs" child. No emotion is left unchartered or is too raw to write about. No question or reaction is off-limits. These are true uncensored passages written in the anguish of despair, the turmoil of uncertainty, and the relief of never-ending love for a child throughout his years. A look at mental illness, adoption and the term "special needs" as it relates to raising a child into his teenage years. This book is a gift if you have open eyes, a companion if you have a heavy heart, and a cry to the world that all children matter, no matter what.

Excerpts

Words from a Mother's Heart

My Story I have my own individual story, and my own special pain I am not a super hero; I have no fortune or any fame I am a little boy, who never got the chance to pick my birth mother If I knew she would do drugs, I would have surely picked another My chances in the womb were labeled slim to none Believe me it was difficult, it was not nine months of fun My birth father was no better; he was addicted to drugs as well Both were not able to keep me, it makes my eyes start to swell I was adopted at birth and given away before I awoke My adopted father had enough before I even spoke I was now alone with my adoptive mother who gave it her all every day Still I had so many unanswered questions what does anyone expect me to say? My problems started at birth which caused hundreds of tears From anger and aggression to communication with my family and with peers I am now old enough to speak now; my life, an open book I am so much more than my mental illness, please take a closer look
