I had my son in a freestanding birthing center, attended by a midwife, intervention-free. I took A LOT of flak for it. I even had people tell me that he should be taken away from me and put into foster care because I was putting him in danger by not having him in a hospital.

If I ever have more children, I won't do it any other way.

Found you through blogexplosion. You don't sound radical to me - you sound like a wonderful mother!

It's amazing how I've delved deeper into theology, walked longer with the Lord, and learned the "hard lessons" myself, how much I've come to value GRACE in parenting. In all of our relationships.

Sure, it's radical. But the Gospel of Jesus Christ is pretty radical.

I think you are a VERY patient mother and are doing a GREAT job!!!!!!
