Interesting how things turn out and how we meet the people who can be so life changing for us. When Darrell and I found Joan and took her very first home birth classes in Los Angeles, I will never forget the interesting group of people we met with each week. We were such a conservative couple with I guess you would say a hippie type group. It was so funny but we were determined, especially me after seeing Susan's home birth, to have a midwife. I loved Joan and her strength, and knowledge. I felt very comfortable with her throughout my prenatal visits and delivery with Selina. If my new Dr. had not volunteered to do the prenatal and delivery at home she would probably have delivered Rosie as well. However, that's another story and isn't that one of the best parts of birthing our babies, the telling of the stories... Hey Carol, I am honored to be the acquaintance who introduced you to Joan.

How similar has been our experiences.. my first catch was also at my best friend's birth of which the midwife didn't make it in time. It was there that I was shown {by God of course} what my calling is... and how awesome and wonderful is birth and how intuitive women can be when give the safe space to do so! Gosh I was so honored to be there... and I share your passion for women and birth... how refreshing to read the wonderful articles on your website Love Stephanie Coleman :] Carol,

Your "accident" of a catch reminded me of Jen at my birth with Silas. I hope she one day will see that she is gifted and already has the heart of a midwife! Love you!!! And thanks for sharing your life so openly. I love your testimony especially the end. Your “accident” of a catch reminded me of Jen at my birth with Silas.
