Great article. Now I know I'm not crazy :-). Hope you don't mind if I borrow the article.
I just read that article on another adoption resource site and thought about you, Robbin, Catina and Tami...how ironic (well not really) that you posted it. Thanks Christine...I continue to use your blog to encourage single women to take the step of singlemotherhood by choice with boldness!
Great article. Enjoyed reading it. Jan
