Question
I just wanted to say how great I think this website is. As a Catholic wife and mother I was so happy to come across it. When my husband and I went to our engaged encounter at Serra Retreat in Malibu, we learned a little about natural family planning. While we were there we wrote what later became our couples prayer for our wedding. In it we asked God to bless us with children. October 8 we celebrated two wonderful years of marriage and on October 16 we celebrate our son's first birthday.
It has been a wonderful experience for me thus far.
I would love to share it with young girls and let them know how great being a wife and a mother is, and that it's an experience worth waiting for. It breaks my heart to see that there are 13-year-old girls out there confused as to whether or not they're pregnant. I was only 23 when I was married and then got pregnant, but I was in a loving committed relationship. Basically, I would just like to help.
Thank you for your time.

Answer
Dear Baylee,
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! It is so very encouraging to know that our site is being utilized, and to hear your story.
We sure welcome your help! We are swamped meeting the need that is out there, for this information.
I invite you to become a member of CANFP, so that you receive our publications. If you are in Southern Calif, which I gather by your Malibu reference, you will be happy to know we are planning a conference in So Cal
for April 11/12, 2008---though is inland, in San Bernardino. But becoming a member will keep you informed.
Also, we have SO many things we would like to do, if only we had more people helping. Maybe you are called? For instance, the Ask the Expert you were looking at is managed and coordinated by a volunteer, who gives one day a
week of her time to coordinate, and all the experts volunteer their time in responding.
You will receive more info when you receive a new member pack, and I invite you to call me on our toll free number and we could talk about how you can fulfill your desire to help others, through CANFP!
Thanks again for taking the time to contact us!
