Not practical or much else but it's where my mind went. <br />Hugs to you and many good thoughts to this young girl and her unborn baby.

I felt warm and fuzzy every time I tucked the blanket you made for Sunshine around her in the stroller last Winter.<br /><br />I trust your instincts when you say you think this young woman will choose to parent, but I will say that I think you would handle an open adoption with such love and grace.Dorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16255190971670471758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678310.post-8534946357813687322010-09-28T13:53:35.255-05:002010-09-28T13:53:35.255-05:00It's interesting what feelings lie dormant and...It's interesting what feelings lie dormant and then rise up, fully awakened when we are faced with a situation that triggers us.<br /><br />So hard, so hard, these kinds of situations.Quiet Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13852998912734693621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678310.post-72211376279080003482010-09-28T13:10:44.926-05:002010-09-28T13:10:44.926-05:00Oohhhh..

I'm sure it will mean a lot to her.<br /><br />And I often find it interesting how little things like that really get you thinking about your own life and where it's going.AnotherDreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487881766884178761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678310.post-23816278435883595522010-09-27T21:15:24.874-05:002010-09-27T21:15:24.874-05:00Way to go with the blanket.

I think it is quite funny how we assume young single mums are going to struggle more than older mums: historically the age at which women have had children has ranged from 14 upwards: in fact, older mums are a brand new thing.Of course, biologically 14 is way too young: but it was the norm just 200 years ago.<br />As for single mums: how many wars have we had? How many mums been left single through these and crimes, accidents and illness?<br />I was 18 when I had my first child and I was and am a fantastic mum. I know this because my 22 year old daughter tells me I was. My 15 yr old and 10 yr old son tell me I am. I am so glad you have offered to be there for this girl and help her celebrate the birth of her child, whatever she decided to do. Good for you!stitchersanonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844767540468536515noreply@blogger.com
