“'Are they trying to turn us off to being foster parents?' My anxiety was through the roof. The judge made eye contact with us both. 'Wow.’ We could not hold back our tears.”

“We decided we loved each other enough to let our marriage go. We’d no longer be spouses, but we’d always be a family. We ended our marriage with a divorce ceremony sharing vows to our 4 daughters, promising to always be a family, even if Mommy and Daddy aren’t married. Josh has found the love of his life, Carlos, who has become a cherished member of our family. Talk about miracles…my family is a fan of my gay ex-husband’s boyfriend!”

“The second Jackson was put on my chest, it all became real. I didn’t have that instant bond a lot of women talk about. I dreaded the time I would be by myself with the boys. Every day is a struggle, but I can’t imagine life without them.”

"Every single day, I feel resentment, sadness, frustration. I reminisce about my lost freedom. The days I would wake up with energy, pull out my to-do list, and get everything done. The days when I could hop in the car and run a quick errand, take a nap, or shower whenever I wanted. The days I could set BIG goals and actually attain them."

"I found it. He’d been searching for po*******hy just hours ago. There isn’t a way in the world this could be true. I pleaded with God: 'Please no… No. No. NO! Please don’t do this to me!'"

“At 5.30 a.m., a friend was in our bedroom. ‘Wake up, he’s hurt his head!' His skull was shattered. I collapsed on him and cried like I never cried in my life. How was I going to tell the boys what happened to their daddy? I rang the ICU to tell them of my wishes.”

“I received a text no mother wants to receive. ‘You won’t be seeing them again.’ Our story isn’t sunshine and rainbows, but love flows freely.”

“He was slowly beginning to wake. I couldn’t wait to see his big brown eyes. I wasn’t expecting the first thing out of his mouth to be, ‘So, how did things go?’ I still hadn’t come up with the best way to tell him. I knew I wouldn’t be able to lie. The room once again was silent. ‘Kyle, I love you. We will get through this together.’”

Disclaimer: domestic abuse

"My heart was pounding as I stood in the middle of the airport. My two boys aged 3 and 4, gazed up at me with sleepy eyes. It was 6:00 a.m. We were flying home to the USA. I was trying to act calm. The woman at check-in gave me a bewildered look when I told her we had no luggage to check. I was terrified I was going to be asked if I had their father’s permission to take them out the country. I didn’t."

“I wish they showed me a loving way to work on self-esteem and helped me ACCEPT my body. I didn’t know the implications of my decision or the long term consequences for my health.”

“We treated her with ibuprofen, heat, and ice. It seemed to ease it some. The next morning when she got up, she was in a tremendous amount of pain. It was followed by a week of unending pain. ‘Why my baby?’ All I wanted to do was hold her and sob.”

"Donato was pulled over and arrested for a DUI. I asked the officer, 'How can someone who WASN'T drinking have a breath alcohol level 3 times the legal limit?' We were confused; doctors were confused. Even in the greatest city in the world, no one could figure out what was wrong with him."
