When I found out I was going to be a Mom, I was beyond excited. I thought to myself that my fairytale would be complete as I had found my perfect guy. We made lots of plans for our future life as a family. But, by the time my daughter was born, the story surrounding her conception had changed dramatically.

The first moment I held her in my arms, I knew without a shadow of doubt that we were going to be okay. She has been the joy of my life- an immeasurable source of love. I feel truly blessed to be a parent. The role of a single parent is not an easy one. However, the built-in rewards make it so worthwhile.
