Many of you have been asking how my aunt and uncle felt because of all my indecisiveness. I talked to my aunt today and they had been feeling almost as bad as I had because of someone they thought was going to be their child too was “taken away” from them. All this time [...]
i have forgotten all of my reasons that i stood up for so many times about adoption. and i said in the past, i would do anything in my power to take all of Callies pain that she will EVER experience, for her, and maybe this is my chance. I really don’t want to [...]
I am getting a lot more sleep. Getting a lot more done with college. I’m almost done. And I get to go to my work orientation. I feel a lot better. I have just been thinking and I sometimes worry for Callies sake for the future. I think adoption / parenting both have it’s [...]

She sleeps through everything. She behaves amazing in public. BUT It’s still so exhausting. Sometimes I still feel like [...]
Tomorow I’m going to see Callie. I am so excited. I miss her so much! I have been communication with my uncle lately, and I just want to say that I really could not ask for a better family. Really. I am so fortunate to have been able to grow up around them and [...]
First of all, i just wanted to say my main conflict was not feeling at peace with my decision which was my fault. i didnt speak up with what i wanted. my aunt and uncle came to me with everything, the papers, to visit, to be there for the birth, all that because i [...]
For adoption, legally, you can’t sign the papers for 48 hours. I don’t think it’s literally 48, though. For example, my baby was born at 6:48 PM December 16th. I don’t think I had to wait until 6:48 PM December 18th. I think it’s just when they release you from the hospital, typically that [...]
I’m inducing on wednesday the 16th. So close. Very scary.
