"I was lost when (father of baby) turned his back on me.  I could not believe I had made such a bad mistake - and I was not sure I even wanted the baby.  I was scared to do it alone.  I always swore that my child would know her daddy… not like me….  Always wondering who my dad was and why he left my mom.  But now I know I can do it.  I will always be grateful to her dad for one thing.  If I hadn't known him I wouldn't have (baby) and what I know is I love her and I can be an okay parent.  Thanks!"
