I know that, but I can do my best to raise my child that way, and I would want someone willing to try. I would also want an open adoption thing, because I want to be able to meet my child. I won't ever put a child up for adoption after I'm married, because I won't have to worry about it. Sage Marie was the result of rape, and she is my angel.
