Dear Bio Mom

My kid's bio mom has been on my mind. With Mother's Day this weekend, I wonder how she is doing. I'm sure it has to be heart wrenching for her. To have had children but not have any of them in her arms would be a pain so deep. If ever there was a space for me to talk to her, I might say something like this....

Bio mom,

More than anything I want to say thank you for giving life to these beautiful children. I know you didn't have to, but you did. Giving them life was the best gift ever. Because you chose life, they have the opportunity to change the world. I know they have already changed my world. I can't imagine life without them. Thank you!

I want you to know they are doing well! They are growing. Most days I look at them shocked by how big they are getting. They are incredibly smart!!! Daily they surprise me with their knowledge and skill. They make friends wherever they go. They love dancing, music, books, and playing outside.

Most importantly, I want you to know they are loved and well taken care of. I love them with all of my heart. I know I didn't birth them, and they don't look like me. But they are my children in every way. I love being their mom!! They are safe. They are part of a family that adores them. My heart bursts with love for them. I know it has to be scary, wondering how they are doing, knowing you may never see them again. I want you to know, you don't need to be afraid. I am doing my absolute best to give them a good life. I am not a perfect mom. But I give 100% of myself to them. You can rest assured they are loved and wanted.

I talk about you to them. I let them know that you gave them the best gift, the gift of life. I let them know that the reason they are not with you has nothing to do with not being wanted or loved, just that you weren't able to take care of them at that time. They will grow up knowing your name and the how you chose life for them.

I also want you to know that I pray for you. I want you to know that Jesus loves you. He wants to take your pain and heal you. I would love for you to have a personal relationship with Jesus. He would change your world.

It is hard to put into words all my heart wants to say. I love them. I really do. Tears come to my eyes just thinking about the precious gift they are to me. I hope one day you will know just how amazing they are.
