2. When did you place your child? Oct 13 1997

3. Tell us about your birth child... He was born on Friday the thirteenth three years to the day that his birth father and I met. He was 7lbs 7 ounces and beautiful. It was an open adoption and I got to meet the birth parents and they were wonderful. They used to send me pictures through their lawyer but I haven't received anything in a while. He'll be 11 this year. I can't hardly believe it!

4. Are you married now? yes

5. Any children or TTC? I have a daughter Mya who was born Jan 17 2002. And we were TTC, but loss the baby at 14 weeks. Now we are WTTC until Feb 2009

6. Do you attend any kind of support group? No, but I should. I do see a therapist, though

7. Do you have any words of advice for your fellow birth mothers? It's the best and hardest decision I've ever made. I sometimes have regrets to this day, eventhough I know I did the best thing I could for him. I knew I couldn't take care of him at such a young age and I wanted him to have a better life than I ever did.
