I bet I'm not the only adoptee with mixed fillings about the Holiday.

And I bet I'm not the only birthmother that cringes a little when I think of how betwixt and between my son must feel when it comes to Mother's Day. We have been in reunion for 8 years and I usually ring him the week before so he doesn't feel a need to acknowledge me on that day. I think of myself as his first-mother but believe the woman who nurtured him from infancy to adulthood is the one who deserves the title on this special day. (I actually thought of sending her a card this year acknowledging her role. We have met each other and there is definitely something that binds us....like two women who collectively have the best interests of a young man at heart. But ? ? ?
How would you adoptees feel if you found out your birthmother had sent your mother a card for Mother's Day?
