Today as we celebrate Mother's Day I can't help but be grateful to the woman who so selflessly helped me become a mother. It is not widely known, except maybe in the adoption world, that the Saturday before Mother's Day is Birth Mother's Day. I found this video clip on another blog and I thought I would share it.
Steve and I have been blessed to have an open adoption with Sienna's birth mom. We send e-mails and visit with her. We know at first many people did not understand our reason for keeping the adoption open, but we love this woman who carried her baby for nine months and knew that she was going to place her with our family. We feel so blessed that she came into our lives, and anyone who knows Sienna knows how blessed we are to have Sienna.
So today as I am feeling blessed to be celebrating Mother's Day, I also want to recognize our sweet birth mom as well.

What a great story behind Mark Schultz song. I think it is great that you guys keep such close contact with Sienna's birth mom, Sienna will thank you for that one day! Thanks for helping us all be aware that there is a Birth Mother's Day, I think that is wonderful!
