Welcome to my sanctuary. I know, I know, the decor isn't what you're used to, but I think it's a little fun to be full of surprises. I can just hear you.. (Oh my GOD!! She actually DOES have a tender side!!). Yes I do have a tender side, believe it or not, and it's all sirloin. (*rim shot*) Okay, okay, bad joke. But yes, I have a soft spot, and of course, it is the driving force of my very existence, my children(including our newest princess,Shaelyn Joann). All four of them. "Four?" you say? "I thought there was only two..." Well, guess what. *grin* That's why you're here, to find out all about my birthson, Evan , born July 3, 1997, who was placed in an "open" adoption.
I consider myself somewhat of an expert on the subject of adoption. Why? Well, because *I* myself am an adoptee (bi-racial) as well as a birthmother. The following pages explain it all: all about the open adoption process and its advantages; links to other places on the web for resources, information and support; MY adoption and experience as an adoptee, the circumstances surrounding my birthson's adoption (including the story surrounding my daughters), and OH-SO-MUCH more (just try not to get lost, ok?) ... This is my story, and yes, believe it or not, you will find that truth IS certainly stranger than fiction....
