BirthMother's Day
Brenda Romanchik- oh my you made me cry again! I love the way you can explain things.
I just found out last week that there is such thing as "BirthMother's Day." I like the idea, but hate the idea of being seperate from Mother's day. Either way, I'm glad there is something out there for me. I have a feeling it's going to be spent away from my daughter, however, and that makes me sad. I have bought 2 dozen roses and made a card that will reach the adoptive mom exactly 7 months after placement (a couple of days before mother's day)...and I'm skipping mother's day at church. No need in torturing myself now.
If I were an adoptive parent I would definatley be sending something great to my child's birthmom (or better yet bringing the baby over for the day)!
I don't know if any APs actually do things like that...but we can hope, can't we?
I just wish society didn't demand silence and complacency from birthmothers. I hate that twinge that people get in their faces when I tell them about my daughter and they hear the answer to their "Well, where is she?" question. I forget for a moment that I'm "not supposed" to be proud of her...but I am.
I don't know. I'm rambling. And I wish I had a day that me and my daughter could call our own. Perhaps her birthday in october...if not birthmother's day.
