I Am Not Giving Up On Her
It’s been months since I’ve heard from birthdad… He moved hundreds of miles away last summer for work. We stayed in touch for a while, texting multiple days a week. Then around my birthday, he just stopped communication.. I kept trying to check on him, but it was hard when I got nothing back and… Continue reading

And I thoroughly admire the work of both artists there. Plus, sometimes you simply want to go for a… Continue reading

This is (Hopefully) My Comeback Post
Okay. So, I’ve been absent from here for a long time. Like, a LONG TIME. I don’t really have much of an excuse. I’d like to say it’s because I had an office job for like 6/7 months in 2017, but that only explains part of it. Honestly, I just haven’t really felt like I have… Continue reading
About Me
Hello! Welcome! My name is Katy!
You can find me drinking coffee until it’s time for wine. Currently have 5 tattoos, but plans for more are in the works.
I’m a birthmom over 8 years post placement. I’ve been in a birthmom support group since November 2018, and will be leading my own come May 2023.
On Sunday mornings you can usually find me in the nursery or on the production team at church.
Various times throughout the year, you can find me staying with someone’s dog(s) while they’re away on a trip – so don’t be surprised if there are stories or pictures every so often.
