My choice

I’ve wanted a child since I was 16, but I held off and I waited. I’m still waiting to this day. Even though I wanna be a mom now. And I know I could handle it. A lot of you have told me that I’m not ready not even knowing me. Instead of just saying those things not just to me but to other young girls I think it’s time we sit down and have a real Conversation to young women about how to make more informed choices for themselves. How to help them prevent a pregnancy if they feel they are too young to handle it. And how to help them to succeed as mothers if there choice is to have a child. Maybe then adults can tell them what every new parent wishes to hear....Congratulations on the new baby.....we wish you both nothing but joy.
