Life has changed. I went from a married woman to a mom. Wow. Thats so insane! I am having a lot of trouble adjusting, and am experiencing postpartum, and its hard. I didnt think it was going to be this hard. My mother in law watches my daughter a lot, thats where she spends most of her days. My doctor has advised me not to be alone with her for any extended amount of time, not that I would do anything

When I was 18 I went to a party with my sister, she hooks' up with this guy, and well they all told me to just go make out with this one guy. I did for awhile, and when I left the room the guy and my sister was having sex in the room and said just go lay in the room and don't worry, I went back in the room and drank a little more, and ending up dating this guy that ended up forcing

My husband and I are starting the process of adopting a baby and wow, what a beautiful thing these women are doing for their child and the adoptive couple(s).  The ladies are doing this to give their unborn child a really great chance at life. Their reasons vary, but they all have one thing in commom, and that is to give their baby what they can't.
