“That lady from the park is now my niece and nephew’s MOM!”
“Let me share with you ‘just’ what I really am.”
“I got attached, and it has been the greatest pleasure of my entire life.”
“I upturned my one-girl, one-boy perfect little life, for one of chaos and unpredictability. I signed on to a life of continual hellos and goodbyes, one of sadness chosen and loss embraced. I dove into a life of brokenness.”
“Oh, I wish I were in control. I wish I could slam the door in the worker’s face. I wish I could tell the judge, ‘So here’s what you gotta do.’ I wish I could just change mom with a snap of the fingers.”
“I try to stay stoic and emotionally removed from the stories of the babies in my care. So I don’t cry. Until today.”
“Owynn had no clue. It was the best Christmas gift ever.”
