People say that things happen for a reason and I truly believe that. I
know a family very well that resides on a navajo Indian reservation in
Many farms Arizona. They have a teenage daughter whom I know was
expecting a baby this month on the 7 th. This young girl was not only a
high school student but she also had a one year old son. My intent was
to resign from my job in Louisiana and relocate to Texas. I left Texas
to drive to Phoenix Arizona to pick up my little dog Roxie. As I drove I
kept thinking about the little guy who would soon enter this world.
When I reached my destination... I stayed and visited for a few
days...within those few days, I got an apartment, and applied for the
Sheriff's department here...I am on my way to becoming one of Arizona's
finest...lol as I settled, I received a phone call 3 days before the
baby was to be born...I kept talking to my friend Carol and a few other
close friends telling myself all the while that this felt right...when
the baby came...they sent me pics and of course...I fell in love! He was
breeched and 5 lbs 2 ozs...I then arranged to meet them in Flagstaff
Arizona. By then he was 5 days old...when they put him in my arms, I
knew then that he would be my son...he's perfect, doesnt hardly cry and
is very attentive to his surroundings. The parents then arranged
expidiciously the signing of their daughter willingly relinquishing all
parental rights and making me the sole parent of this beautiful baby
boy. That day was yesterday at 12:00 noon Christian Mateo' is officially
my son...! As he grows to understand...I will continue to let him know
his birth mother and big brother and that god sent him to me to love and
nurture him. I never thought I would ever have someone as precious as
he is..someday soon will be calling me mommy! So this is the story of
how in that short time between June and August I made the biggest
decisions in my life and would not change anything...I have a son...!
