Doing it supernaturally
Ever since I can remember, I’ve loved babies. They're super cute, tiny, sweet, etc. I’ve also always wanted one or two, but as a kid, when I started hearing about what it took to “get” them out into the world, I promptly considered that, when I grew up, adoption would be the only way to…Read more Doing it supernaturally
