By Anonymous, The Federalist - The mere thought of bringing a new life into this messy situation at my age was more than I could bear — or so I thought... If someone had told me just four short years ago that my life would be marked by more blessings than I could count, I would have looked at them with complete incredulity. I never dreamed I could be surrounded by the warm love and happiness I experience today... It was all made possible by my unexpected pregnancy and a community that empowered me to take on the mission of motherhood.
