My son, Keaton Nicholas was born exactly 8 days ago. He was placed with a loving family with two mommies.

I chose the family i did, because i wanted him to be in a home that would give him twice as much love as i wanted to give him. What else can give a child twice his mothers love, other than two mothers??

Im currently doing a LifeBook, and i am always looking for new things to add.

I also have a 3 yearold daughter, who will be 4 in december, and a 2 yearold son. Im from the Cleveland, Ohio area, and i am always looking for birth moms who woudl like to chat, e-mail, or even swap blogs to read and comment.

Im involved with an AWESOME group called Birth Mom Buds, and they are all awesome women! If it werent for my mentor Tamara, and the awesome leader Coley, im not sure where i would be today.

I gave birth on 10-22-06, and was discharged from the hospital on the 24th. I also had an Entrustment Ceremony for the baby on the 24th, and it was a huge success! And i highly recomend it for ANYONE who is doing an adoption, semi-open, or compleatly open!

The parents and I have become close friends, but at the last minute, the doubts started to set in. But, when we spoke freely about how we felt for each other, it really reassured me that i was doing the right thing, and the best thing i could for my son.

Anyways, this blog will be my record for all the trials I personally go through during this adoption. I promise to update as often as i can, or, at least try to.
Not all of us can get paid for writing *wink* (you know who you are!)

Anyways, i hope you enjoy.
