“Infants make this trust fall every single day.”
“Calls from DHS are like a Create-Your-Own-Adventure Game. Each ‘yes’ takes your family on a wild new adventure you never expected.”
“Thank you for ignoring the people who judged you. You understood; you believed me. And when you took me to a doctor who could explain to me what was happening in my brain, you took away so much shame.”
“I knew in my heart that I was watching two daddies dancing with their daughter and I couldn’t help but feel so much love.”
“I thought I knew everything I’d need to know.”
“‘Alright Christina, I will tell you what. Go home, take this trigger shot and just have fun. Let’s see what happens.'”

“I thought I had this ‘taking the kids out to eat’ thing down to a science. I let my guard down. About 5 minutes in, an employee asked, ‘Ma’am, is that your son in the bathroom?’ I stared at him, confused. When I opened the bathroom door, I did the only thing that seemed natural. I laughed. Like, REALLY laughed. Tears-pouring-down-my-face, couldn’t-talk-couldn’t-breathe kind of laughing. I couldn’t get it together.”
“It was the first time I ever felt special.”
“This fight we are in right now. I need it. I need this fight. I can’t tell you this because I don’t have the language for it and it wouldn’t make sense anyway. But I need this fight. Badly.”
