Giving Up A Child For Adoption, Having Kids In 3 Decades, DV & A Blended Family with Anna Pageau
SPECIAL RELEASE LOCAL EPISODE!
Parenting journey has been varied:
*a child at 16 that I gave up for adoption
* a son at 20, pregnancy was easy, but he was breech at 36 weeks and was turned by the doctor. I had contractions from that point on until he was born at 40 weeks. Became a single mom when he was 3.
* a son at 38, pregnancy was normal except the geriatric point of view constantly wanting to do ultrasounds and tests. Began having contractions around 37 weeks, natural birth 2 days after the due date.
*Have 2 step daughters, my husband and I got married when they were 17 and 19 so that has been an interesting journey.
I have 2 different businesses. As a sole-entrepreneur I have been a freelance writer and educator for almost 10 years. I write copy for others in the wellness field. Both my clients and my writing is focused around using herbs, and aromatherapy to support overall health. A few of my clients focus on women's issues around perimenopause and menopause. As a couple we have started a farm business where we will continue the wellness focus and also sell produce and plants.
