Birthmom

One day I hope and pray that I will get to meet Nathan's birth mom.  I want to be able to look her in the eyes and say thank you.  And I want to tell her that I look up to her and consider her to be the bravest woman I have ever met.

I have tried to put myself in her shoes many times since we brought Nathan home.  And every time I do I come to the same conclusion.  I couldn't do it.  I couldn't carry a child inside me for 9 months and give it to someone else to raise.  No matter if I was young.  Single.  Or had little to no money.  I just couldn't do it.

But this young woman did!  And I am so grateful!  Without her self-less act I would not have the title of Mommy.  And it's a title I am loving more and more each day!
