Great entry, your story is well written, heartwarming, and interesting. To give up a child is one of the hardest things to do. I had to give up mine, cause I felt I was too young to raise it. Our situations were different, but the feelings the same.

Very inspiring and well written essay is perfect for the prompt. Good on you for making that hard choice; I'm glad things turned out well! I don't see anything that needs correcting, but do suggest that you double-space between paragraphs for easier reading. Great job!

Hi Patricia, a very good summation of your life and military history. I almost forgot about the military part. God truly does honor and bless those who follow Him.

Love how you transitioned from being in the US army to the Lord's army. Thanks again for sharing your testimony. I especially liked your ending with your version of Ephesian 6 spiritual armor:
"I will keep my uniform of forgiveness on, having my feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace and keep my shield of faith at the ready, so I may stay in step with His commands."

You went through a horrendous experience, Patricia, but out of it came the child that you have reconnected with and treasure now. Not that anyone should have to go through such a thing, but how wonderfully it all worked out for you both. Marilyn

Comment from Joan E.
I did not realize you served in the army. How special to have served under Eisenhower as your earthly commander. I also did not know that you found the son you gave up for adoption. Yes, keep your "uniform of forgiveness on"--it suits you well! Best wishes in the contest as well- Joan

Comment from Roxanna Andrews
I had no idea they were drugging drinks in that day. We think it is a newer thing. I am so sorry that happened to you. It is wonderful you were able to connect with the child you gave up and let him know you did it for love. I am glad you can forgive and stay close to the Lord. May He bless you greatly for your faithfulness. Hope you do well in the contest. Rox
