Maybe we could look at it like this. The gift to us amoms is you made us moms and created a family where we had only a hole (ok I am now crying AGAIN TODAY). That is a priceless gift. However, the child cannot be owned and therefore can only be entrusted to someone to care for. The word gift is not about the child (in my mind at least) it is about the "gift" of trust from you to us.
Does that make any sense or make that phrase easier to swallow. I hope so.
