Birthmother Poem

Here is a poem written by one of our recent adoptive mothers. It is too beautiful not to share.

Birthmother Poem

by Shannon Hills

Giver of life

Beacon of hope

Unselfish sacrifice
Beyond the courage of most

Nurturing watchman both day and night

Keeper of the dream until God's appointed time

Some say it was a mistake, an unplanned event

But the heavens rejoice that you chose to commit

To choose life, to give life, not once but twice

Birthmother, I thank you for the ultimate sacrifice!

Your child, our child, will always know

How deeply she was loved in the womb and forever more!
