I wrote this 2 years ago before Mother's Day on a day often referred to as Birth Mother's day in the adoption world and just never published it. Today as I have simply enjoyed the little boy he is becoming I was overcome so many times with so many emotions. Today he and I watched his birth country win the gold medal in the women's marathon and I shared that with moment with him. So I figured I would post it today as it still holds so very true.
Today I sit and wonder if she has had enough to eat.
Today I sit and wonder if she has had enough to eat.
Today I sit and wonder if she is well.
Today I sit and wonder if she thinks of him.
Today I sit and wonder if she has any idea the gift she gave me.
Today I sit in awe that I get to be a mom.
Today I sit in awe of the blessings I have been given
Today I sit in awe of the power of love.
Today I sit in awe of the little boy that calls me mom.
Today I sit and cry for a woman I will likely never meet.
Today I sit and cry for a mother and a son who had to part ways.
Today I sit and cry for families torn apart.
Today I sit and cry for the hunger and disease that still ravish this world.
Today I rejoice in the little boy I am raising
Today I rejoice in the life God trusted me with
Today I rejoice in being a mom!
Thank you Little Man for making me a mom!
His birthmom lives in my heart and crosses my mind on a regular basis. But today is a day I make sure to take the time to talk to him about her. To share what little I know. Today is the day we will plant a rose in her honor. We will watch it bloom each year and grow. We will remember that he and I get to grow together each year because of her love! Today is a day I make sure to share him with her.
