November is an Important Month

     This is the month of Adoption Awareness which of course is very near and dear to me. This is the month that I feel birth parents need to be recognized. This is the month that we need to be heard so people can understand what type of people birth parents really are. This is the month that we need to give thanks to our childrens "forever families" and they should be doing the same to us, the mothers that made it possible for them to create the beautiful families they have created. This is the month that we need to speak out about adoption and let it be know that there are more choices then just two. ADOPTION IS AN OPTION and it is better than the option of an abortion. As painful as it is to let go of your beautiful child and place him/her into another mothers arms it is less painful then killing your child. We need to let it be known that adoption is a way you can let go but still be involved. We need to raise up and let people see how proud we are of what we have chosen to do in our lives and with the lives we have created. This is the beginning of a new journey for me.....this month I have chosen to be heard, I have chosen to make people aware of the pure joy and happiness that can come from the most painful time in my life. This is when I will take a hold of my past and raise up, this is when I will take all of the pain from my past and use it for the good of others.

     To anyone that knows a birth mother let her know what a blessing she is. For those who know adoptive parents let them know what a blessing they are. Everyone in the adoption traid is a blessing and we couldn't have one without the other.
