Birth mothers-

[QueenOfMyBee]

I just want to tell any birth mothers reading that I always think of you every Mother's Day. My husband and I both take the time to say to each other that we will remember a woman who may be feeling sad on the day and to remember how grateful we are to her for giving birth to such a wonderful child.

I tell my child about their birth mother and, although they are only 3.5, they know her name, have a photo book they are free to look at and can tell me they came from her tummy. They will grow up knowing about her.

I promise I will raise them knowing their story and knowing she did the best with what she had. Knowing that life is not black and white, there are many shades of grey. I will teach them that we should try to put ourselves into other people's shoes before making judgements and to appreciate the positives in our lives, whilst learning from the negatives.

Sorry for my ramble, i hope this brings comfort to any birth parents reading. Sending you love for tomorrow.

What a lovely post, you're right to remind your children of their birth parents. My husband gave up a newborn (with the birth mother) when he was a young man and he still finds it hard to talk about over 20 years later.

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. Finding it very difficult and painful. Unfortunately my relationship with my own mother is broken and this is a hard reminder that mother's Day means pain for two reasons now.

One day hopefully it will mean something else.

Was meant to say this day is a hard reminder

for everyone.
