I
was told at a very young age that for me to have a child it may take some "work." As in, infertility issues. As I walked through life my dream of having a baby drizzled away with each step. At age 28, I married my best friend of 11 years. It was amazing to feel so totally in love with someone like that. (Still am!) We discussed children right away and both decided that really if we wanted one that it would be best to adopt. There were plenty of children out there who need good parents and homes. And that was it. Within 2 months of that conversation.... I got pregnant and our whole outlook changed. My son is over a year old now and I couldn't imagine a day without him or either of them. It is the most wonderful, scary thing when you walk out of that hospital with something so precious in your arms. To this day, I still can't believe they just "let" me leave with him. We are now in the process of trying to make a sibling!
Funny how life can change in an instant....

 | Posted Jan 15th, 2009 at 5:31AM Congrad’s, that is so amazing. I am obsessed with becoming a mother, I can’t wait for the day to bring my little one home, and I won’t be fulfilled with life until that moment. |

 | Posted Mar 26th, 2009 at 9:44AM Being a Mother IS so wonderful! I feel so much more complete with my children. They have taught me so many lessons. They have taught me what unconditional love really feels like. +2 nods |
 | Posted Apr 4th, 2009 at 9:59PM I am confused when people tell me how much they want to bring another life into the world. If we could just focus on giving all that love and those resources to those who are already here instead of creating our own life, we could solve every major problem humanity is facing right now: Poverty, over population, and maybe even global warming. |
