It occurred to me yesterday, while celebrating Thanksgiving, that the day is a perfect testament to part of what we’re trying to do with MyBabyOurBaby. It’s a day when families come together and get to see each other, to connect again (even if it’s only for one day) and to share stories about what has been happening in their lives.

At the Thanksgiving party I attended, there was family from all over California, and from as far away as Washington, DC. In amongst it all, there were 2 babies under the age of 1, and 2 other children under the age of 6. For some people there, it was the first time they were meeting these little people who were a part of their own family.

Something we’re hoping to see with MyBabyOurBaby is the ability for families like this to be able to share more of the lives of their children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews etc with each other. We’re providing a secure environment where Mom in Washington can post pictures of bub and have family in California keep up with how quickly they grow up.

Hopefully we can make the world a little bit smaller for the families who want to spend more time together, but can’t.
