Mothers Day Love....

Dear future birth mother:

I thought about you so much yesterday. I thought about the baby that we will both love so very much, in very different ways. I thought about how on every mothers day we will light a candle for you and talk about you. I want our child to know that their "tummy mommy" loved them so much. More than I can ever comprehend. Your selflessness will make me a mother. It will make Jason a father. And it will make us a family.

We will celebrate you not only on Mothers day, but on birthdays and adoption days as well. There will never be a question in our child's mind about where they came from and how much they are loved not only by the mothers heart who she grew in, but the heart he or she grew under as well.

Thank you just does not sound appropriate. As weird as it may sound, when I think about you and the child you will bless us with, I just want to tell you I love you. I want to make you feel loved and no matter what life has brought your way, let you know that there are people that love you and will always love you.

So, this is my mothers day wish for you: don't mourn for the child who you "gave away" (I hate that term), but think about how much that child and his or her family love you. How we think about you always and talk about you. Talk about your bravery, courage, and love. You will be loved and celebrated by us every mothers day, groundhog day, the first of the month, and every single day in between.

You are stronger than you think. You are beautiful and you are loved.

Happy mothers day.

Love,

Brooke
