i am a 29 year old mother to a beautiful 7 year old girl. she has truly made my life a joy since the day she was born.

i had been happily married for almost 10 years with 2 wonderful children when i found out i was pregnant.

1999- i was 23, still a virgin, and had just gotten into the top art school in the country. shortly into my first year, i met a man and that became my first, serious relationship.

i was 23 and in the worst days of my life. i was confused about what i wanted from life and i was living in a place where those who surrounded me had a great influence on me.

i had just been accepted into a university after a hard year with my father and step mother and moving out suddenly to get away from them. i was 19 years old living with my boyfriend of 2 almost 3 years when i found out that i was pregnant.

i had been married for 3 years and was beginning my final year of university. after removing my nuva ring i waited and waited for my period.
