i do beleive it takes a village to raise a child. no matter what the terminology. no mater how the family is put together. there is no right or wrong way. it is what is healthy for you and your child. all i know is that i would not know what to do without our birthmother. i am a Nurse and every time i watch a woman have a baby. i think about Gabes mom. there is not a day that goes by that i don't think about what she went through to bring him into this world. then to turn around and place him in another woman's arms to trust that he would be loved and nurtured to his fullest potential. she is a saint. and as i look in to my beautifuls sons face, i see all the love that has passed from her to us. it is a beautiful thing. on this mothers day i will be thinking of her and the great gift she has so unselfishly shared
