Dear family, friends, and even acquaintances, After making it more public yesterday about my decision to have my daughter adopted, I just want to thank you all for the love and support. It really means a lot to me that you guys understand this decision was made in the best interests and well being of my daughter and her future. In the past few years I have struggled to keep my own life together and have been bouncing around the west coast like a ping pong ball from Alaska to Nevada to California and now Washington trying to find a place to call home and along the way found out I am indeed capable of conceiving a child, which out of foolishness I thought was untrue. Being single and pregnant, Ive had 8 months now to think about what kind of life my daughter will live after she is born and what I am able to offer her. At the moment, I live a small life in the basement of my family friends house near Seattle, Washington and work part time at a restaurant, making just enough money to support my needs alone. With that being said, I feel it would be unfair to raise a child under such circumstances and my daughter deserves better than to struggle with me. I feel I could give her all the love in the world, teach her right from wrong, to avoid pain from learning from my mistakes, and how to be a good person, but to me thats not enough. She deserves a mother and father who are happily married that can give her a more stable and comfortable life where she wont be eating top ramen and Kraft macaroni and cheese 5 times a week because thats all I can afford. She deserves to have health insurance, and a college education put away for her future. These are things I cannot afford to give her no matter how much I love her. Here are some more pictures of the most amazing couple I could find for her and it makes me very happy that I could put an end to their 2 year wait theyve endured in adopting a child since they are unable to themselves. Its much like the movie Juno, only Im 10 years older than Ellen Page, Devin isnt an immature loser in a band t-shirt like Jason Bateman, and Jocelyn is just as caring and loving as Jennifer Garner. Adoption is a very extensive process and Devin and Jocelyn have come a long way to get to this point, 2 years later. It wasnt easy choosing from so many couples, but after getting to know them there isnt a doubt in my mind that they are the perfect couple and will do an amazing job being parents to my daughter. It is an open adoption, so I will still be able to be in my daughters life as much as I am able and whats appropriate. Until she is old enough to understand why I chose adoption for her, I will be waiting patiently watching her grow from afar. So again, thank you friends and family for supporting my decision, it really does mean a lot not only to me, but Devin, Jocelyn, and my daughter who will be here roughly around June 14. We havent decided on a name for her yet, I want Devin and Jocelyn to be able to name her and so far the name Hailey is being considered which I am happy with because I am an Eminem fan. ;) Happy Friday everyone!
