Her sweet baby, Grace, was a dream come true. Then Vanessa made a highly uncommon gesture: when Grace's biological parents became homeless, Vanessa invited them to stay.

| 505 | 0 | |a Something I regret : you can't unslam a door -- part I. Missing is its own kind of madness: Unlovable ; The eggs and I ; Hard endings ; The ask -- part II. Everything you've ever been or said or done in your whole life has led up to this very second: When you know where you want to go but can't figure out how to get there ; Everyone alive is in a modern family ; Brand me ; Life blooms in rocky soil because of it and in spite of it ; There is no prescise moment when you become a parent -- part III. Mommies are people, people with children: You wing it in live time, every day ; DNA finds its way back to itself ; A marriage unravels ; Bridgett and Bill move in ; Saying hello would be a terrible idea ; Unfriended -- part IV. Rock needs river: Following signs ; One thing I didn't mention ; We are all orphans ; A surprise beginning. | |
