Celebrate!

Happy Birth Mother's Day!
The Saturday before Mother's Day is National Birth Mother's Day
We wish Three Very special ladies a happy birth mother's day.


It hard to fully express my gratitude for these amazing woman that gave birth and life to my children. Without them tomorrow would not be a day of celebration for me. I'm grateful for their faithfulness to God's plan, courage, tears of pain, and extreme love that they have for the boys. Your sacrifice for our family will never be forgotten. N, J, and L you are my heroes, you are amazing, and I love you as deeply as sisters.
This is a sweet poem about adoption that makes me cry.
Legacy of Two Mothers
Once there were two women who never knew each other.One, my darling, is your birthmom and the other is your mother.
Two different lives, shaped to make yours one.One became your guiding star; the other became your sun.
The first gave you life, and the second taught you to live it. The first gave you a need for love, and the second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality; the other gave you a name.One gave you the seed of talent, the other gave you aim.
One gave you emotions; the other calmed your fears.One saw your first sweet smile; the other dried your tears.
One chose adoption. It was all that she could do.The other prayed for a child, and God led her straight to you.
And now you ask me through your tears,The age-old question through the years.
Heredity or environment, which are you the product of?Neither, my darling, neither. Just two different kinds of love
