Thank You Mom....
To the woman who brought me into this world, I say a silent prayer for you. Thanking you...for making the unselfish decision to choose life for me, knowing that you would have to give me up, in hopes for a better life than you could provide. They told me you gave me a name, they told me you got to hold me. If I imagine hard enough, I can almost see you.I have taken this gift of life you have given me and have turned it into something wonderful through my own children. As my family has grown over the years, I have thought of you often. You were there for every birth in the cries of my babies. Our lifeline starts with you. Wherever you are, I think of you today...and every Mothers Day that goes by, saying my silent prayer of thanks to you.

That is beautiful!
I was not adopted but my hubby was. My girls and I were talking about adoption this week and they said that they didn't know if they could ever give their baby up (if they were pregnant) because they didn't think that was right.
I said that you have to care more for the child and the life they may have, to do it. You have to see that you would not be able to offer them a proper life and love them enough to let them go to someone who would be able to love, cherish and raise them in the way you only wished you could.
I said you have to look at all the people out there that want to have a child so badly & can't. How else could they have a child if it wasn't for unselfish women, who loved their child enough, to do so? I said if you couldn't have your own child, would you not want to have the opportunity to have one?? Their minds quickly changed as they understood.
Happy Mother's Day Chel...and happy Mother's Day to your BM & your MOM too!

Chel....
You are amazing. How wonderful that you have such gratitude and understand your birth mother's sacrifice.
What an amazing girl she gave life to.

aww chel
that was so beautiful...youre such an amazing woman in every way.
Very well spoken - I am sure
Very well spoken - I am sure your BM thinks of you as well - I have a friend who gave her daughter for adoption and she very much remembers that little girl. My step-daughter's mother was adopted - she searched for her BM for a long time - wanting to know. I could understand and offered to help - It took me about three hours to find her. I remember thinking that maybe, just maybe, she wouldn't hate me so much - do you know that even after she asked me to find her and I found her - she never even said thanks - and I was the person responsible for her unhappiness again the next day...
Chel - I am so happy for you - you and your husband are getting the life back you deserve - you seem so happy -
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO YOU!
Beautiful
Chel, what a loving heart you have - I know your mom is proud of you!!! Happy Mothers Day
