Birth Mother's Day

Today is Birth Mother's Day! We just want to tell you all how much love your adoptive couples and children have for you. You are and will forever be angels. There are people who think that Birth Mothers place their children with families because they don't love them, but I have to tell you, that is not the case. A Birth Mother's love is stronger than any love any person who thinks that has ever felt. She loved so deeply that she put that baby and his needs first. Here is a quote from a Birth Mother that explains what I mean. (Found on The Agape Project's Facebook page)

 
 

I have always believed, and made sure our Birth Mothers knew, that we are both this baby's mother. How can I parent a child that someone grew in their tummy and then take all that credit away from her? There's no way I can. We are just mothers in two different ways. One's love is not stronger than another's. One just gets to grow that love every day by being there with and for him and the other's love grows because she is not with him. Here is another awesome quote posted by The Agape Project.

 

 
 

Being an adoptive parent is so rewarding. I get to feel love in ways most have never been able to comprehend. Our Birth Mother is very dear to me because at the time of our son's birth, she did what was hard, but she put his needs first. She did what she knew was best for him. She will forever remain in our hearts because of this. It was not an easy thing. She did not happily place this child in our arms. She spent months making a plan. Thinking about how, and with who, this baby would be raised. She did not make this decision lightly. We are forever blessed because of this beautiful woman. She has changed our lives, and the path of our son's life. It's amazing to see how many lives have been touched and changed by this one selfless decision. We are forever grateful to you, Birth Mothers, especially ours. You can never fully understand the amount of healing you have given us. You have changed lives. You deserve to be acknowledged on this day. We love you. You are our angels!
