Thank you so much Joel and Lila. I am so grateful that you guys did all that you did to be his parents. And although I haven't known you for a long time, I feel like I've known you forever! I can't express how much gratitude I feel for you guys. Just thank you so much! You are both such great parents!

Wow, Lila what a priceless video! I am glad that not everyone I work with is here today! They would wonder what is seriously wrong with me!

Cassie- I don't know you but from one birthmom to another , I LOVE YOU! You are amazing! I have been a singlemom for almost 8 yrs and am currently tring to integrate my daughters father into her life after him not being around for 6 yrs. Long story short my motto is if it takes two to create a child it is going to take two to raise a child. I have single parented and placed. By no means is there an "easier" choice, they are both hard and hurt. If I had to choose I would place knowing my child is in a loving home and doesn't have to go through the disagreements of seperated parents. Don't ever discount your choice, you are a pilar of strength for the choice you made. The pictures you have are priceless! Thank you for sharing your story. Beautiful in every way.

How are things these days with your little one? Haven't heard much in a while. You must be very busy. My life is about to be super busy too with two little guys.

Your video is very beautiful.

I hope you are having an awesome week!
