It annoys me when people think that
because I DON"T have children;
I don't know anything.
Well I have news for you
I was there when both my brothers
were growing up I was there. All
throughout. I was a fixture in their lives
and still am.

I helped with everything, taught them
right from wrong, disciplined when
my parents were not around. I
was there for all their triumph,
mistakes, graduations, and
MARRIAGE.

I was the one that they
came too when they had a problem
or were scared. In essence I had a hand in
raising them.

So do not tell me that I
don't know because
I don't have children.
I may not have had the experience of giving
birth but I do know what it is
like to have the responsibility of taking
care of children, raising, teaching, and caring for them.

I was told at an early age that I may not
be able to have children. Imagine
being told that you won't be able to be a mom.
At about 18 yrs old I decided to adopt.
Adopt a child from America and give them
an opportunity to be loved and grow up in a loving
environment. I have an awesome support system and
my up bringing is something I want to pass on.

I may not have children (YET) but I should not
be punished or reprimanded for my opinion in
matters concerning them either. I have a reason
an unbiased opinion.
