I saw an article on CNN.com today that made me angry and sad and frustrated all at once. A woman in Colorado was busted by a police officer for having her toddler buckled into a regular seat, while her gas can was safely secured in the carseat. Are you kidding me? Nope, here is the picture that accompanied the story:

Someone like this gets to be a mother? Anyone who has been through any kind of fertility struggle will feel my sense of injustice on this one. I'd give all of the possessions I have in this life to be able to have a baby, and yet some of these people and the things they do to their kids.... I'm going to step away from that train of thought now, because it will be a very long post!
Instead, I want to talk directly to the woman who may one day give us her child, and make a promise, on my life:
You will never see me or my family in a horrible news story like this. You will never have to worry about what goes on behind closed doors either. We will treat your/our child as the precious gift we know they are. We want them to experience life, laugh often, love their family, work hard, enjoy learning new things always, give to others, and develop their faith. We will value their lives and well-being above our own. And we will cherish every second of it!
