Well my forth and final post regarding Mother's day has to go towards two woman who will always be in my thoughts, prayers and every day thinking. My children's birth mom. After all, I would not be able to call myself a mom if these two woman did not conceive, carry and love thier babies. But that is not why I am writing about them. I
DO NOT think
their purpose in life was to make me a mother. To conceive children to be taken away and given to someone else. I would never wish that upon ANYONE. I
believe that all children should be with
their birth parents (only with the exception of abuse, negelct and drug and alcohol abuse). They are woman who today is probably hurting over
their children. A day where mothers are celebrated and rejoiced, but yet, two woman are not. I honor them, I pray for them. And I wish I could give them both a great big hug. I send them mother day e-cards. Just because they do not have
their children, they are always going to be mothers. My children will always be thier children.
To me, Mother's day will always be a bittersweet day. I can not just go on and pretend that they are mine, and only mine. Every day they are my children, and I do think about thier birthmom's on a regular basis. It's just today (and thier birthdays) when I think about them more. I hurt for them. I say a couple extra prayers for them today. And I make sure my children know what makes a mother. Both biologically and in my heart.


I wish I had a picture of Terra with her birthmom as well. This picture was done before Joe's eye surgury, and with his buzz head they look NOTHING a like.
