But I have to ask.....If it's not because you think the child will be better off with another family (for WHATEVER reason under the sun, ie. Finances, two parents, age etc. etc.)....why would you place a child for adoption?

Leigh, the only thing I can tell you about that is when you find yourself in panic mode it is really easy to allow the people around that you trust to convince you of things that, in reality, may not be entirely.
There are days when I truly believe that I made the worst possible choice I could have for my child, but I can't go back and change that now. I let others influence me too much.

First mom to the amazing Kiddo and adopted adult.
1-4-2009 Mom and I visit Kiddo despite the bad weather. He really loved the blue mittens I made him and even helped me plan my living room. Apparently Hot Wheels wallpapper is the way to go.
2-16-2009 I got a promotion, that comes with a raise. Mom and Dad are visiting and we're going to Al's for pie to celebrate.
4-27-2009 Dad surprises me with a Lady Ugly Stick (an awesome fishing rod that is pink) and a 2nd Iowa Light Artillery Battery jacket. I'm a lucky girl!
5-30-2009 Kiddo turns five. It is hard to believe he is that old already, it seems like just yesterday he was being born. I was at peace for the first time on his birthday, what a nice feeling.
6-13&14 2009 A cannon live fire in Casper WY. We got third place and I got to see Devil's Tower for the first time, it was pretty awesome.
7-4-2009 Amelia the kitten comes to live with me and Liz. Talk about jealousy, Liz will adjust though.
