Welcome to Oobakeep. This is a place for parents to share their trials and successes on this crazy journey we have all undertaken. It's a place to connect with others who have also "been there" (or are still going through it!). It's a place to learn about the possibilities and learn what works for YOUR family. And it's a place where we respect and support each other choices.

*A note about the group name: My husband came up with it. When our son was really little - just weeks old - he would play peekaboo with him. Of course the baby was still too young to play back but that didn't stop him. What really made me melt as a mom was when he would invert it to "oobakeep" and as he got older that was their special game. It was something special our family did. Now he does the same thing with our daughter. So to me "oobakeep" symbolizes how we sometimes do things a little differently from the rest of the world. I thought it was a good name for this group.
