Words of gratitude to my son's birth mother:
I can't express fully how I feel for you. You do not know me, but I know you. I see you in my son's eyes, I see you in my son's smile, and I see you in my son's love.
365 days ago, you gave birth to a beautiful boy, whom I am so blessed to call my son. While I may not have known you then, I prayed for you that day. Yes, I prayed for my future son or daughter's birth mom for almost 25 months. So, last year, as you labored, I was praying for you, praying for the safety of my son's birth, not knowing if either of you existed. We just prayed in faith.
It is because of you that I have been honored to love and hold my son the last 12 months. He has grown leaps and bounds, from learning to sit, to getting 6 teeth, to learning to stand on his own, to learning his sister's name, to giving me loves that I treasure every moment.
This little man that we both love in our own ways is blessed beyond measure. I am blessed beyond measure for the decision you made 365 days ago. While I will never understand what you felt, I want you to know - you are an incredible woman. I love you for the gift of my sweet son, my second child, the little brother to his big sister.
Tonight, after all the festivities are over and it's bedtime for Lucas, we will again, like we always do show him your picture. We will tell him of your love for him and he will again, take his hand and stroke your face in the picture, trying to say your name.
Thank you. You are deeply loved in our home and will always be in my heart, every day that I breathe.
From one mother to another ~Amy

Beautiful! I gave my boys up for adoption (long story, bc of severe ppd/a). I love how you help your son understand he was loved by his birth mom as well as you. Gave me comfort. So Thank You!
Sondai, Thanks for your words. We adopted actually because I had very severe PPD/A/OCD after the birth of our daughter. I can understand what you went through. So blessed to have you reading my blog - I hope all is well with you and your life now. ~Amy
