I'd just like to say that I'm a darn good Mom.
Anyway, I know of at least two firstmoms in my social network who have or are in the process of adopting.
Ya know what? They're also great Moms.
Let's see, if I was judged based on what I did eighteen years ago... *thinks* ... Man, I'd be in trouble because I was busy trying to tell my Mom to send my Brother back because I wanted a Sister instead. Surely that means that I should never, EVER be a parent because I didn't want boy cooties around.
mdesi, persue your dreams. Don't ever let people attempt to limit you. I'm excited for you on this new dream!
