You both made a courageous statement, conveyed with strong conviction with tremendous grace and dignity. I have much admiration and respect for the way you chose to handle this matter. It is both inspirational & encouraging to those of us who are going through or, may be go through soon, the same process.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Sincerely, Theresa
PS: I also must admit to being a little envious of your mom. Would she consider talking to my mom? Would she consider adoption?
