I don't get how they can not understand what a heart wrenching decision it is no matter what you do. you feel scared to death and helpless. I believe that you did what you, and God, decided was best for both you and the baby. <br />don't listen to 'em.sjand-izzlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640786534203215797.post-16951954273120788852010-04-09T21:24:54.716-07:002010-04-09T21:24:54.716-07:00Good for you sweetie :)Good for you sweetie :)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04954358993320356730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640786534203215797.post-68052509136326182622010-04-09T21:17:41.730-07:002010-04-09T21:17:41.730-07:00I don't usually comment on blogs, especially s...I don't usually comment on blogs, especially someone's blog that I don't know! I have a love for adoption/birthparents blogs and found yours a little bit ago while blog hopping. I'm not a birthmother or adoptive mother, just someone that believes and is passionate about adoption. One of the first post I read of yours, you mentioned you work at JCW's. I worked there a short time too. Of course it was 10 years ago when I was 16! So when I heard you where from the same area I'm from (my husbands from AF, I'm from Highland) it caught my attention and so I like to check up on you now and again. Tonight I read your resent post about your friend (so sorry), your engagement (congratulations!) and your harsh comments others are leaving you. I have things in my life I'm pretty open about and others I'm not, people are different when it comes to this. Keep your head held high. Anything you say in life may offend people OR it can help someone. Continue being you for those you are helping. Cope with your loss (both Olivia and Jessica) the best way for YOU. Others might say you are self-fish... being a birth mother is the LEAST self thing you can do. I admire every birth mother, including you! Keep that pretty smile on your face : )Rowley'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13863154584859403796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640786534203215797.post-31103260729030882812010-04-09T20:35:36.706-07:002010-04-09T20:35:36.706-07:00I may be redundant, but this is an AWESOME post. ...I may be redundant, but this is an AWESOME post. It IS hard to have people berating you--no matter how strong and resilient you are. Those thinking distortions can be really powerful so it's great to recognize them for what they are and shoo them away.<br /><br />We're so sorry that the wedding date is being delayed! We were really hoping that his work would be flexible so it could still be in August. :( <br /><br />You have and are working so hard an achieving all the things you want. It's very admirable. We love ya!Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11503246998637206824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640786534203215797.post-57313171458428950112010-04-09T20:15:47.706-07:002010-04-09T20:15:47.706-07:00I just want you to know I think your AMAZING! And ...I just want you to know I think your AMAZING! And those people who judge you... have low self esteem if they have to pick on someone to make themselves feel better. PRETTY SAD, when you think about it that way, who has the issue!!<br />Your Christ-like! Beautiful! You have done something that took STRENGTH AND COURAGE~! I am sure you have many talents and I can tell from your posts your heart is so good! :) <br /> IGNORE THE IGNORANT! STAND TALL AND PROUD AND KNOW THEY ARE NOTHING AND NO ONE! The only one opinion that really should matters is YOURS! :) <br />Just remember GOD DON'T MAKE JUNK! :) I love that saying! <br />well thanks for reminding us to all be kind to ourselves.

And you really should stop your formspring if people are leaving you messages like that. You don't need that. I don't think I could take it if I got messages like that.<br /><br />And I'm glad you did the exercise where you turned your negative statements into positive ones. Because the positive ones are the true ones. I love you and wouldn't want you thinking those negative things about yourself. I can't fault you because I do the same things and I shouldn't. <br /><br />I am really proud of you for getting done with school. :) Way to go for working 2 jobs. I did that for a while and it sucked. You are awesome, keep it up! <br /><br />And stop responding to the haters. That's just what they want.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11841804064852974740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640786534203215797.post-80380702667332984142010-04-09T15:22:52.925-07:002010-04-09T15:22:52.925-07:00This is an amazing post!

We all ...I think that this is an awesome post Stef. We all have our problems, we have our down moments and our up moments. But i agree with the whole calling someone crude names when you dont even know the person. Or you base your judement on what people have told you about the person. And not letting things like that get to your head or lower your self-esteem makes you a better person.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08342786886115431150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640786534203215797.post-39035592748024353092010-04-09T14:51:23.317-07:002010-04-09T14:51:23.317-07:00I don't hate.
