I guess you could call it a "choice". One that I made with a man who was refusing to give me any kind of support and even after asking about resources being told by the agency I was making another couple SOOOO happy. I was making the "good and right" choice for my son, even though, I said I didn't feel that way.

I'm sorry, but I can't believe that there is any kind of higher power that would let women who want to be pregnant have IF issues and women that don't want children be the ones to bear children for them. Too "Handmaiden's Tale" for me, thanks.

And for those of you that believe that every first mom in the world makes a free and clear choice with no pressures, you need to take your rose colored glasses off and see the light.

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.
