Birthmothers Day is Today

Here is Amanda a few days after placement. Today is birthmother's day and if you know one please let them know you are thinking about them. We love that Evan looks so much like her. He is such a happy boy and we kiss and hug him everyday for her. We get to see her soon so that she can get to see this big, smiley boy again. Last time she was with him he was such a string bean.


This is for Amanda:

She holds him in her heart

And she remembers...

She remembers the magic of the first flutter of life,

She remembers the delight of looking into his tiny face for the first time

And saying, "So there you are!"

She remembers the sadness of letting go

And the incredible pain of separation

She will always remember what it was like to be his mother to hold his tiny body close

Today we remember her

for all she has given

for her part in bringing a miraculous life into the world

For the love she will always have and hold

in her heart.

How exciting for Amanda to have the opportunity to see Evan. I think that's awsome!
