"Children are not the sum of one or two people who love them, but the sum of the many people who love them, and shape their lives in large and small ways. As my daughter's lifemother, I don't complicate my daughter's life, I compliment it. " -- from my article, Why I Chose Lifemother (Skye Hardwick)
