Desiree’s Response to the Claim She Tried to Give Herself an Abortion At 5 Months

Nope. 100% true story. About a month after we brought our son home from the hospital, she was having a lot of difficulty dealing with taking care of a newborn (you know, lack of sleep, constant attention, et cetera). She was considering putting him up for adoption. She called some agencies and inquired about whether she would be able to get any money for it. One of the agencies told her that would be illegal. Then, since she wouldn’t be able to get any money for him, she gave up on it.

Of course, her version of the story is that I told her to give our son up for adoption but only if I could get money for him, and that I forced her to call to find out. But, if we put all the words and accusations aside, and consider both of our actions: 1) Who was the one that left our son in Phoenix and moved to Florida? Desiree; 2) Who was the one that immediately brought him back from Phoenix and raised him alone for the next 12 years? Me. Based on that, I’d be much more inclined to believe my version of the story than hers.

The reason I haven’t published that story yet is because I refrain from publishing things I can’t prove. And this is one of those stories there is no hard proof of – except for this email she sent me in October 2012, where she admits it did happen but, as I say, she blames me for it. You can also see my response to that email here. You may notice she didn’t respond after that.
