[Jody M]

Hi Carol- Birth mothers began the celebration of birth mothers day for they often felt unrecognized as mothers and not honored by society . I believe the reason they chose a separate day is to bring to knowledge that there are millions of birth moms out there who gave children life and adoption and they never forget! And some persons wanting to spend time with their mothers on Mother's Day would find it difficult to spend it with both parties-(I guess that is also true when children marry and have to chose their parents or inlaws to celebrate with- often it is difficult to chose both on the same day unless you live in close proximity and all are happy to be together.
Thanks for sharing! And yes, those birth moms who still have very raw pain and grief it is difficult to focus on a special day. Some desire to be recognized and honored.
Blessings, Jody
