By adopting a child and helping them reach their potential, they help us reach ours.
An adopted child is not an unwanted child; to the contrary.
They are a child who was searched for, prayed for, cried for, begged for,
received by arms that ached, making empty hearts full.
Love is meant to be shared.

Birthmother Day

I didn't know that this day existed, but what a wonderful idea!  These women gave us the greatest gifts.  They made the decision to have their children and knew that the best thing for them was to allow others to raise them.  In our case, she had to know that the greatest possibility was that her child would go half way around the world and she would probably never see him again.  These women will always have a HUGE part of our hearts.  I pray that I do her the justice she deserves, as Jacob's grows.
