Birth Mother's Day

Today is National Birth Mother's Day!

I would love to personally thank all birth mothers for giving the ultimate sacrifice for their child. You let them go to give them more and I know that your bravery is something THEY will carry with them the rest of their lives. I especially want to thank "K", my daughter's birthmom for giving "more than just one life when she made of this man and wife, a father and a mother. When she gave the gift we could not give each other." I know the joy of being a parent because of you. Thank you. Happy Birth Mother's Day!

Restoring Faith

We have had a hard time in the adoption world lately. I have become almost numb to everything we've gone through, because it hurts. It hurts to love again and again and wind up aching in the end. So I really have been just kind of numb, not knowing what to do or how I feel. And then I recieved an email this morning that restored my faith in adoption. A dear friend is holding her newborn son because his birthmother placed him with her this morning. This friend has lost babies and mourned and picked herself up to do it all over again. She is an inspiration to me to never give up...and her hard work paid off. Congratulations friend! You deserve such happiness. And to your son's sweet birthmom, thank you for restoring my faith in adoption and the bravery of souls such as yourself.
