Until I feel like I can live up to the type of mother my mom was and still is--that will be the day when I settle down and I have kids. Unfortunately, I see kids all around me (I'm 23) having kids when I can just tell that they are not "there" yet to be parents. I almost feel as if people don't even remotely evaluate whether or not they can be good parents. I used to not agree with abortions (I was raised in an extremely religious household) but I still have the internal debate within me when I see cases like this...or even the many kids who end up with irresponsible parents...I don't really want to start a debate about choice or life...I guess the only thing I'm saying is that I really wish people wouldn't have sex irresponsibly. Although I'm not ready to be a mother, ever since I was little I've always thought about adopting rather than having a child of my own, and cases like this only reinforce that sentiment. I wish this child would have been put up for adoption...I just hope that the next parent does just that instead of ending up where Casey is right now. |
That's beautiful, your mother and you understand what it's all about. It kills me when I hear of someone wanting a child because they want to be loved.
