My Fiance... hehehe(that's good to say) is the most wonderful person... the best thing that I could imagine has happened. I'm so glad things are working out.

He was so concerned with my concerns about moving the Australia that he took me there to check things out. It turns out I love it. The people are absolutly wonderful! The weather is great! The jobs are plentiful! Schools are great! I love it!!!! Can't wait to go back!!!

I just found out today that I'm having another girl. I have a 5 year old boy, a two year old girl, and I adopted out a one year old girl. I'm due in May. Three kids for me after all! I'm actually quite excited, despite my initial fears. It's all because of my fiance. He's so wonderful!!!

Anyway - I'm moving in February to Australia with him and my kids. It'll probably be a legal battle against my kids' fathers, but we're prepared. I have sole custody of both, and the fathers both owe me money and also don't bother with visitation, so it's pretty much a given... they have to prove me an unfit mother, right? Well I'd say I'm doing pretty well, and so does the preschool and my daycare provider. I just hope it isn't a dragged out process... (yeah right).

I can't beleive that my adopted daughter is turning one! It's all happening so quickly!!! The aparents and I email about once a month with pictures... They're doing so well. I'm so happy for once in my life. My mom says It's about time, but I never really thought I'd be this happy... especially with a man! LOL



I wish the best of luck to you all... thank you much for your advice!

Oh, and P.S. When I gave up my daughter for adoption, I didn't have to tell them who the father was, and he still doesn't know about it. He assumed I had an abortion and is completly happy with that. He's still in Prison for what he did to me, and when he gets out I'll tell him the truth about the adoption... but just so everyone knows, you don't legally have to tell the father, at least in Utah.

Annalisa,

Thanks for giving us the update. I am so glad things have worked out for you on such a positive note. Good luck w/the move and also, with the situation w/your children's dads...

I am impressed with the strength that you have displayed thus far! You have proven to me (and to yourself, I hope) that you are capable of so much. You overcame a lot (of fears and past relationships) just to tell the father what was happening...! Amazing. You are right in saying God has a plan for you and your children. This baby's father seems like a good guy. I am glad that you are giving him the chance to step up to the plate. I wish you all the best.

Where will you be living in Australia. I live in Australia too!

Well, I'm no expert, but I would try to be honest with the father. He does deserve to know, but also be FIRM and do whats best for the two kids you already have. If they need stability provide that for them, and if he is agood man he would want what is best for you AND your kids. If you end up giving the baby up for adoption, be at peace. The baby will be MUCH loved! Parents who adopt go through so much to get that child in their arms, it will be loved to no end! Also if things work out, three kids aren't too bad. Like anything it a juggling act, but it all works out in the end. Trust me, I have 6, and at the end of the day, they are what I live for! Good luck to you!

Talk to him about it. What can it hurt? Be open, honest, and let him know exactly how you feel. Don't hold back. I pray the Lord will guide you to the right decision for you and your children. If you need to contact me, feel free.
God Bless,
