Hello all!
I'm not really sure what to say on introducing myself other than I came out as transgender at a very young age and always new I was a boy.I've also always wanted to be a parent, and while adopting is fine for some...I wanted my own child. I can't father children,so I put my transition on hold to bring my baby in to the world.She is due in July and her name is Claudia Christian Grace.
(hopefully she'll wait that long, right now I'm on the hi-risk list and I practically live in the birth place)...I wanted to join because I was hoping to find some parenting advice.
In my area there aren't very many transgender parents and so I'm coming up on a lot of questions that no one can answer. Plus this is my first child(probably last and only). I'm a single father, and while I have lots of support from friends and family, I'm still scared. There are a lot of things that no one can help me with, none of my family or friends being trans, so things are sometimes hard. Plus living in the south and being openly transgender is a trial all by itself.I constantly have someone telling me I'm going to ruin my baby's life and i'm going to be a bad influence on her and what not.
So yeah...things are sometimes scary. I was pointed here by a friend who told me on parenting advice this was the best place to go...Here I am!
