Those who have adopted will know what I am talking about, but last night was one of those nights that I was flooded with emotion for Mighty Mo's birth mother. I am not sure if it is because today marks six months since we have been home, or because we are close to his first birthday or neither. It just always hits me when I least expect it, I remember many times with EJ too. I think of Mo's birth mother all the time, but last night as I had just finished giving him his bottle, and he fell asleep on my shoulder's it was all I could do to hold back the tears. I just squeezed him tighter as I held him and said a prayer for his sweet birth ma ma.
I can't imagine the huge sacrifice out of great love she made and hope she knows in her heart that he is loved and growing and just the most wonderful happy little boy.
This is one of Mo's referral pics. He only weighed 6lbs at 2 months old.
This is my handsome 20lb Mo Baby now.... LOVE HIM SO MUCH!
I get that way with Gabe's birth mother as well. Their greatest sacrifice of love brought us our greatest joy(s). Besides praying for her and telling our children about the love of their birth mother, the greatest way to honor that love (at least how we look at it) is to raise Gabe in a loving, Christian home.
ReplyDeletePraying for you, yours and the loving birth mothers that provided your family.

My soul resounds with your words completely. Our sweet Mo turns 1 this Friday and day by day as his birthday draws near I think of her more and more. Jesus, please draw these dear women unto yourself for comfort, joy, and hope. May they KNOW you and that their boys are loved beyond measure!
