Regarding birth mom pain
Carol- I can not even begin to imagine the ongoing pain a birth mom faced- especially years ago in a culture that was not forgiving or encouraging or acting out of grace and love. To not have counsel for these woman was very very cruel and not very wise. I still cannot conceive of how they could tell birthmoms to just move on and forget- impossible- a mother bonds with the baby in the womb and this maternal link does not sever just because of separation.
But I also know that God is bigger than all these pains and hurts life can impose on us- He says He will redeem the years the locust ate away and turn our mourning into dancing for those that turn to him and trust in His name. He is the Great Physician and longs to heal the broken hearted. Thanks for sharing Carol!! Jody
