"Kids were messy, loud, and needy. I never wanted one. Plus, I was sure that I'd be a horrible parent.

Once I got out of high school I started helping a friend babysit. At first I didn't like it, but eventually I wound up caring for this one-year-old boy. He was adorable, so sweet, and smart. He was like a mini best friend who loved me unconditionally. After that, I knew I had to be a parent.

I now have two amazing babies and wouldn't trade them for anything."
