I've never heard of Birth Mother's day. I don't even like the sound of it.
Not because of the fact that it just reminds me that I gave my child away to strangers (that's what I feel it was back in 1976) but it just makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Why if there is a "birth mother's day" to remind us of our loss, shouldn't there be an "adoptive mom's day" to remind them that they weren't the first mother the child ever had?
Please don't think I'm cutting adoptive parents down or anything like that. I'm not. I'm just having one of my down days and thinking about birth mother's day just really gets under my skin.
I am a mother too! Not just a birth mother. Of course maybe I should look at this like having a LONG weekend of being honored as a mother no matter the roll in that that I have. I don't know. But it just doesn't set right with me.
