Hi there! I’m not sure if you’re aware, but on the blog, if you want to look at older posts you have to click “Newer Posts” and to see newer posts you need to click “Older Posts.”
P.S. i love reading your blog! keep your chin up, and don’t let negative people drag you down!
hey ashley,
I had dinner last night with a friend. She had a son when she was 19 and had decided to give him up for adoption, the dad was not in the picture. Now 4 years later she’s happily married and has a daughter thats 6 months old. She spoke to me about her adoption experience and said it was the hardest thing she had ever had to do and she was majorily depressed afterwards and even had to take medication. But she knows she did do the right thing she’s happy and knows she gave her son the best life possible and knows that was what was best for her and her son and is completely happy with decision and glad she chose that path for him. I always see alot of negative adoption stories on here so I just thought i’d share a happy one. hope you feel better soon. stay strong
I found your website through the Television Without Pity forums on MTV’s 16 & Pregnant and I just want to lend some random-person-on-the-internet support. You’ve been through so much and you’ve handled it all with such grace. Callie is so lucky to have you in her life; you are so lucky to have her in your life. You’ll both go on to do great things. Best wishes to you and your family.
I just wanted to let you know, that i think your daugther is beautiful!
I, too, had a baby just a few weeks ago, i named her Ruth Llyan and she is so precious!
Cherish every minute with her because she will grow up really fast!!
God Bless!
When I was 17, almost 18, I found out I was pregnant. I had been very adamant about using protection with my boyfriend at the time since I didn’t want to become pregnant.
He had made the decision to have a baby and he wanted to have that baby with me. He secretly started putting holes in the condoms and not long after, I was pregnant and very upset.
I know how you feel when you first find out, the turmoil in your mind and having to think about your options….not only having to think about them but know that you do have to decide within a short amount of time.
I had to decide between keeping the baby, giving it up for adoption, or abortion. I chose abortion. I don’t necessarily believe it is the BEST choice for anyone, but it was the best choice for my situation. 2 yrs and 1 day ago, I went into the clinic and had an abortion…it was extremely hard but it was the only decision I felt was the best for me. I knew I couldn’t give my baby the life it deserved if I kept it, but I couldn’t handle giving up the child and not knowing entirely what happened to it or what was going on…and I knew I could never live with the guilt I’d have if something terrible ever happened to that child like what had happened to me while growing up. The father, although he tricked me into being pregnant, didn’t really have a choice in what happened…which is really for the best because he is now into drugs and in and out of jail for DUIs and for drugs. It saddens me but life must go on….and I’ve straightened myself out so I can get myself to Law School.
I understand that a lot of people are against abortions, I respect that…but in reality, I had always stood against abortion until I was in a situation where I had to choose….everyone says “Oh, I would do this or that…” but you NEVER really know what you’ll do until you are in the situation and having to make that choice.
I admire anyone and everyone that can give their child up for adoption, it must be unbearably hard to do that…it takes a very strong person. I admire you for the strength you had.
Of all of the mothers from 16 & pregnant, even though I haven’t seen your episode yet, you have been by far my favorite or at least tied with Maci.
I found a site that listed your blog and your other sites while looking up information about the upcoming girls and found this. I admire your strength, your dreams, and your amazing photography and your drive to continue to make yourself the best you can be. One thing I noticed and couldn’t help but smile over, is that you’re bound for New York. I am, too. It’s a long way away from OK but it has been my dream since before I was a teen and I know it’s within reach and it’s within reach for you too.
Again I admire you and love that you were strong with your difficult decision and that you shared it with others….and kept this blog and shared everything. I hope you succeed and reach all of your dreams, I really do.
