One can only imagine how scared I was knowing that I was going to be responsible for a little perfect being at 20, shit, I was scared out of my mind. I almost made the mistake of putting her up for adoption..I had already selected the parents and then this is what they told me, this, being the turning point I guess, "You can have no contact with her, and even if you wanted, it's at the discretion of the parents. Early in life, you can not be the aunt that visits all the time...."
I'm a single parent raising a little girl and let me tell you, half the time I'm not sure I know what I'm doing. It's such a natural apprehension when you have the future of another resting in your hands, but with love and the proper guidance, I'm sure you'll do exceptionally well. I haven't done too badly, but hey, she's alive, giggly, tubby, knows her ABC's and the entire McDonalds Menu...
A lot of times I question myself if I'm doing the right thing, am I too loosey goosey, too strict, too this, too that, and all that matters is that the child is loved and given the proper guidance, will grow up fine...
Be there for your girls, love them, protect them, and everything else becomes a minor detail...
