Words like "courageous", "inspiring" and "empowering" keep cropping up but it seems to me that these are only appropriate if I'm starting from a negative position which is a long way from my intention!<br />While I may not know a huge amount about your life since about the time we were in the church choir together (cringe!), I have no doubt you'll be a great parent and I wish you every happiness.<br />As the Aussie's would probably say...Good on yer!Brian Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07754135814095385032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592839731639120187.post-31116876127091984872011-01-16T02:49:36.302+08:002011-01-16T02:49:36.302+08:00Princes come along when you're least looking f...Princes come along when you're least looking for them because that is when you imbue the world with your confidence and beauty and they can't resist ;-)<br /><br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17686057978927588322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592839731639120187.post-77924804728451343792011-01-16T02:35:21.482+08:002011-01-16T02:35:21.482+08:00Thanks to MamaBear too!

You gave me the courage to choose a known donor when so many people were trying to scare me away from that. I am very happy to be able to give my child the opportunity to know his/her father.<br /><br />You are more than welcome to post the link.

It does take a great leap to realise that not having a partner does not have to equal remaining childless... it's so socially ingrained. Also, being single when you first start parenting doesn't mean remaining single forever... much as being partnered when you first start parenting doesn't mean you'll remain partnered forever. <br /><br />Something I've experienced personally through parenthood is that the quality of love for my child has been far richer, deeper and rewarding than any other love I've known. This love is profoundly transforming; it's selfless and expansive. Wishing you much happiness on this path.Mama Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01360142399015629825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592839731639120187.post-23897959725872323292011-01-15T05:11:03.947+08:002011-01-15T05:11:03.947+08:00Thanks for a brilliant book LouiseThanks for a brilliant book LouiseEmma Blisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929601119226414066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592839731639120187.post-72931044884208683622011-01-15T02:52:17.477+08:002011-01-15T02:52:17.477+08:00Wow, thanks for the review! --Louise (Sloan)Wow, thanks for the review! --Louise (Sloan)Louise Sloanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10338686700253956706noreply@blogger.com
