January has been a busy month! I look back at it and don’t understand how everything fit into 31 days. I’ll catch you up on all the joy-filled moments and crossroads in our adoption journey:
January 10, We put together a gift for a special lady! It’s for our future birthmother!!! It’s a gift that will hopefully help communicate how much we care about her, how thankful we are for her, and that she is someone we will always treasure. I could go on and on about birthmoms! I have learned so much about these special women through our adoption journey and have grown in my understanding of these individuals. I wasn’t always in this state of mind though, and I realize that they’re not always respected or valued like they deserve. To that I say: Phooey! (Though I want to say more!) A birthmom is the reason we’ll one day be called “Mommy” and “Daddy!”
For our gift, we put together a special bag full of items that we hope will help bring comfort to her healing body and heart. I’ve included a list, put together with the help of Pinterest and girlfriends who shared their favorite post-delivery items, in case there’s someone out there gathering ideas for their own birthmom gift:
