turning to Christ but also feeling so much guilt and shame about my past

Hi girls! Soooo I have recently converted to Christianity, I was raised with two moms(ofc I still speak with them and love them immensely) and I wasn’t raised with any religion and was kinda always taught that Christianity condemned my family and my moms lifestyle so I felt like I had to choose either God or my moms...

Recommendations for pram with carrycot but not full travel system
