Alicia Elliott:  

When my family left Grand Forks AFB, we were transferred to Kadena Air Base on Okinawa, Japan. I graduated High School at Kadena High. 2 wks before I turned 18 I found out I was pregnant with my first child. I gave him up. The hardest thing I had ever done in my life. They named him Daine Michael. My Dad got transferred back to the States in May of 1991, to Griffis AFB, Rome, NY, which is now closed. I moved in with my Grandparents in Binghamton, NY, to start my own life. I met my husband at work, in Sept. 1991. He was married at the time. We started as friends and it just progressed from there. In the meantime he had a son in March 1992, got divorced in 1993 and we moved in together and had our first child together in Oct. 1993, Cheyenne Billene Elliott. We were ready to split up when I found out I was pregnant with our 2nd child, it kept us together and she was born in Aug. 2002, Summer Rose Elliott. We had been discussing marriage off and on. When he was ready, I wasn't and whe I was, he wasn't. We had more problems and I left him in Jan.2004 and moved in with my mom and her fiance, and my sister, Kera even put me up for awhile. I found out I was pregnant with our 3rd child that February and Leonard was coming up for supervised visits. He proved that he changed and we eventually started a whole new relationship and got back together and started going back to church. Our son, Lakota Blake Elliott, was born Sept. 2004. Our pastor married us July 9,2005. Our relationship has been the best ever. We still have a lot of hardships, mainly financial, but we can now get through just about everything. We are paying a mortgage on a home we closed on Feb. 20, 2007. I like to joke and say that Leonard and I did everything...Expand for more
