I like the way Brenda said it best.

I was thinking about this the other day and I don't know that I would ever say I gave my girls as gifts to their families or that I gave the gift of family to my girls. It's more that I wanted my girls to have everything, I wanted to give them the world, but I couldn't do it myself so I placed them with parents who could.

I placed my girls because I felt it was in my girls best interest in those situations and I wanted to do what was right and best for my girls. I didn't place them to give an infertile couple a gift, it just worked out that these couples who have my children are infertile, but like you're all saying it was far from a gift thing.

And like Brenda says, I entrusted them with my girls and I was thinking that maybe I'd say that I'm sharing my girls with them, but that doesn't quite say it like the word entrusted does. The word entrusted says it all for me.
