It is July 10th and I am 37 weeks pregnant and counting. I am obviously showing at this point in my pregnancy but not as much as you might think. I am still waiting tables like I would if I wasn't pregnant and every single person that I come into contact with now asks how far along I am and of...

One more week and baby boy will be here! One thing that I have started to do finally, is make a scrapbook so when he goes home with the adoptive parents, he will have it forever. I think that this is very important because you can give your child a book about whatever you would like. One thing that...

When I was a little girl, I never dreamt I would become pregnant and place a child for adoption.

A thought struck me as I was watching my friends 5 month old daughter, and 5 year old daughter...happiness. They didn't have to strive to have to achieve it, or work, or have money, they were simply joyful. Now you might be asking yourself how this relates to adoption, but why not? As a ...

Someone asked me along time ago why I chose adoption. For me it was as simple as a switch; on or off, right or wrong? It was also very complicated choosing which way to go, but eventually love found a way. I was in a pretty destitute situation at the time, living from hand to mouth. Basic...

This has been a subject on my heart for a long time, something I haven't been sure about how to approach until now. My pregnancies were really difficult emotionally and physically, as I spent one preparing to parent and one to place 7 years after that. Both choices are hard, and both have long...

No greater love could there ever be a love that encompasses sorrow Not even the darkest night can smother its heavenly light It holds the broken and weary, embraces the torn parts and puts them together whole This love stretches and grows within wiggles and kicks and sings lullabies ...

For those who know, I am a birth-first mother who has experienced two unplanned pregnancies--one in adulthood and one in my teens. I have always had a "modus operandi"--a way of handling difficult things. Something in common with both pregnancies-- I ran away from responsibility, didn't face...
