A shout out for birth mothers!

As all of you know Sunday is Mother's Day.  What many of you do not know is that the day before Mother's Day is celebrated as Birth Mother's Day.

Very few know this fact.  Birth Mother's Day does not affect the entire population, as does Mother's Day.
However, those that are affected by this, are affected in a profound way.

There is a stigma attached to releasing a child for adoption.  Many think "what kind of mother would give up her child"?  Granted, each adoption story is different, but I will speak from my experience and from what I have observed.


   Birth mothers have vision - they want the very best for that child and recognize that parenting the child would not be in the best interest of that child.  Many want a "better life" for their child than they have.

   Birth mothers have backbone - ideas about them as a whole are less than favorable.  It takes fortitude to make and follow through with an adoption plan with some attitudes being so judgmental.

   Birth mothers have conviction - we all know there are "easier" ways to deal with an unplanned pregnancy.

   Birth mothers are not perfect - I'm not trying to say they are but then again neither am I.

Simply put, birth mothers are a group of women who have/will experience pain of one kind or another,  and have decided to take a tough situation and turn it into a blessing for all involved.

So I want to encourage you to pray that the Lord bless those women out there.  Pray that God give them comfort and happiness both now and in the future.

If you know of a birth mother give her a hug or a call today.  Let her know that she is loved by you and by God and that she has blessed a family today.

God bless you all!!!

Much love and many laughs,

A
