A Very Inadequate Thank You

What I wish I could say...



Today is National Birth Mother's Day. It falls every year on the Saturday before Mother's Day. It's hard to find words to express our feelings about the women who helped to make us parents. No matter what their circumstances are and were they loved their children enough to make a difficult decision. They loved their children.

That was very nice, Janell. You and Steve are very fortunate and blessed. But so are your children! Happy Mothers' Day!

Beautiful. I can't help but think that they know. They must feel your love and know the wonderful care you provide for those kids. Great job!

You are children are very fortunate to have you as parents. I can't imagine a better home for them, or a more loving family to be a part of. You have done everything their birth mother's could ever have hoped for when they gave them to you for a better and happier future.
