I am so grateful for my kids

I believe I was born to be a mother. Even though I never had a decent role model, I think I'm doing okay. Even though I'm not very good at it, I think that my kids will grow up to be decent adults. I try to teach them love, compassion, and diversity.

When I first became a mother at 17, I didn't know what I was going to do. I was scared to death. I am so glad that I was able to choose adoption.  He has the most amazing parents and I'm glad My Heavenly Father pointed me towards them.

I'll admit it, when I first had them I was so not ready to be a mom. I still wanted to do whatever, whenever I wanted. I wanted  boyfriends, I wanted to hang out, I wanted to go to movies and  the kids were holding me back. Sherrie for sure thought I was going to leave. And when I did, she was going to snatch them up, adopt them, and even change Ryan's name to Bennett... I love my kids, and am trying to do my very best by them. I am trying to be a good mom, I know I don't always accomplish that, but I think that, I could be worse.

After I had the twins I begged my Dr. to give me a hysterectomy, I never wanted to have kids again, I didn't want to take the chance of having twins again. Thank God they told me no, that I was so young, and when I get married I might want to have more with my husband. I am so glad that the hubs talked me into having my baby. She is thee best! The twins love her so much, and she loves them just as much.

I am so grateful that they chose me to be their mom. They knew it wasn't going to be easy, but they chose me anyways.
