My name is Sterling, I'm 22-years-old, and I am the birthmother to the most gorgeous little boy in the world. I started this blog to share my experiences, thoughts, and help myself move forward after placing my sweet little boy. If this is your first time visiting my blog, I invite you to read my story (top of the left column). Feel free to comment with questions or requests. If you follow me, I'll follow you!

Give-away!!! (Finally!)

Ladies and gentlemen (you know, the two gentlemen who have secretly read my blog but will never fess up to it), the time has arrived. I finally have 25 followers, so here's a give-away!

I like being crafty. It doesn't consume my life, but I do really like it. A few months ago, I really got into this -->
If you can't tell what it is, it's a tutu bowholder. Still confused? It hangs on the wall, and the cute little ribbons hanging from the waist hold little girls' hairbows! I know, adorable, right?? (oh, and the ribbon around the bodice holds little clips!)
I wanted to do this for my give-away... but I also realize that some of you are either, A) parents of boys, or B) aren't raising children (yet), OR C) will soon have a boy AND a girl! (I love you, Holly!)

So the give-away options are as follows: 
A) Girls Tutu Bowholder (Custom colors)
B) Boy's Animal Lovey (Custom color/animal, I can make it for a girl, too.) (sans embroidery, I'm not THAT good yet!)
C) A custom etched-glass cube. (Makes a great nightlight, ask me how!)
(with your name/custom etched onto it, also in 6x12)

Want to know how to enter? Well, dear friends, here's what you must do. (Each entry is separate, so you'll leave MULTIPLE comments!)

Leave a comment telling me why you are following my blog, and a contact e-mail. (You must be a registered follower, so click the little button up-top that says "follow")

Blog about me/my blog (leave a comment with your blog address, and an e-mail to contact you)
Tell me why you love adoption (leave an e-mail to contact you)
Friend me on Facebook (if you add me in the next 24 hours, I'll verify first... leave an e-mail to contact you)

I'll leave this open for a few days, and use random.org to choose a winner.

Also, if you are in one of those boy AND girl situations, we can definitely work something out. :-)

    Union Building at Weber State (he had to lock or unlock doors for me many times).

  5. I LOVE adoption because...without it I would never have had the opportunity to be a parent! I can't imagine my life without the precious little boy that has me wrapped around his finger and I have his sweet, beautiful birthmother to thank a million times for it :)

  19. Sterling, I follow your blog, because I am one of those women that is unable to have children. It has been 9 years since my husband I have been married and we have always wanted children. We are going through the adoption process with LDS Social Services and what a great experience that has been so far. Feel free to look at our blog, I am not that good at it yet, it's only been something I have done in the last couple months.

    You asked us to tell you why I love adoption, the reason I love adoption is there are so many loving couples out there that have longed for so long for a baby and by you giving so selflessly, you (and all the other birth moms)are making someones dreams come true, and giving the baby an opportunity to be apart of an eternal family.It is just a great thing all around. I know it's tough being on this end, I can't imagine what it's like for the birth mothers.My heart goes out to you and all of the other birth mothers out there, and I want to tell you Thank You!!
    I wish you all the best-
    Danielle
