It's More Than Just Blood
Family has nothing to do with blood, but everything to do with love. I grew up in a family so big we lost count of how many of us there were. I remember times at Thanksgiving that our house was so packed that some of us stood around the table and even outside eating. If you asked my mom how many kids she has, she would tell you around 50, last time she counted. None of that is blood-related kids, but every one of them means just as much as the four children she gave birth to. See the "family" I grew up with was much different than yours. I grew up with more brothers and sisters than you could ever imagine and I wouldn't change it for the world. You see my family and I grew up far from my blood family so all we had was our close friends here and, to be honest, they were more family than my blood ever had been.

Insurance
Our government is stupid and just downright idiots when it comes to what's good for our people. Okay, first off I understand everyone's need for insurance but when the government approves insurance for people who ask for it just incase they need to see the doctor for the flu or some crap but deny it for a person who absolutely needs it because they have a lifetime disease... Tell me where the insurance company goes right denying a single mother of four kids, working two jobs and going to school and can't get insurance because she makes too much. Really she makes too much, how does she make too much when she's working herself to the bone with two jobs just to make ends meet and you want to tack on hundreds of dollars for a doctors visit? I'm sorry but how is that okay? Does the government not take into account that people have bills to pay, food to buy, clothes to get their kids, and most times school supplies? Then you have a single man with diabetes which is a life sentence and if not taken care of can kill you but he can't get insurance. Another man with deadly diabetes who by the way woke up with a sugar level of 588 he's lucky he woke up but he can't get insurance at all. A single mother with severe COPD amongst other problems is denied insurance. But yet a woman with 6 children from 6 different men can get insurance. Or a single man working a 30 hour job making 12 an hour by himself can get insurance just fine. Tell me how that's right tell me how our government insurance can let people with severe and deadly diseases walk around with no insurance and pray everyday that nothing happens to them but you can give insurance to a person who will go to the doctor cause they have the flu and no other reasons. Does the government not take enough from us with taxes? They want people to pay out of pocket for insurance or doctors visits, really, how do you expect us to do that when you are stealing all our money in taxes? Then you charge outrageous bills and then even if we do go to the doctor without insurance, the bill is so crippling that paying it back takes years.

Unsuspecting Mother
I’m 22 with two beautiful little girls that I never expected to have. I've heard many women complain about getting pregnant and it not being planned and how they hate it and all this and that. I'll admit when I found out I was pregnant with my first born I lost it, bawling my eyes out. I wasn’t in a stable relationship with the father, we were friends with benefits to put it nicely. I was so scared he'd walk away from me and I’d be a single mom all alone.
