CAIRS Solutions has brought on a new copy writer and blogger, Gina Crotts. Her story has been an inspiration to many over the years, and we’re excited to have her on our team. Here’s a sample of her writing, just to give you a taste of what to come in the future!

When you were nineteen years old, did you yearn to be a mother?

Did you see yourself responsible enough to carry out such a task?

Don’t get me wrong, I spent hours playing Barbies as a young child. However, my Barbie women weren’t at home rocking children to sleep; they were kissing Ken as they quickly left for work.

As I sat on the chilling cold tile floor of my college dorm bathroom, I found no irony in the double red lines that stared back at me. The one who never longed to become a mother was now becoming just that.
