Thank you for this. I am an adoptive mother, and know just how deeply my daughter’s birthmother loves her. I am also aware of the birthmother’s deep loss in not parenting her child. It is heartening to think that someday her loss may be transformed, as was yours, into a beautiful gift to her future child.

Absolutely beautiful! You’re a wonderful mother — from the moment Simon was in your womb and to this day. The world needs more mamas like you!

Thanks so much for this post – as an adoptive mom I’m constantly reminded of all the people and circumstances and divine intervention that have led to my joy of motherhood. Like you, I have embraced all the imperfections of being a mom (and a single choice mom to boot!) and simply love, love, love being my daughter’s mother. It is an amazing journey and I’m embracing the wonderful ride.
A wise fried once told me, when I was weary with lack of sleep during those new infant days, to embrace those middle of the night wakings. This was the time when all the world was quiet and the moment was simply made for me and my daughter to connect, to stare into each others eyes and souls, and to simply “be” with each other. The first night she slept straight through, her little warm body next to mine, I woke in the morning sad that those night wakings were over – I had learned to embrace so much of me in the process while embracing her. It’s a personal lesson I continue today as she’s turning three in a couple of weeks – I’m continuing to enjoy the moment. Each moment. Every moment. All of it with her warm, although bigger body snuggles in next to mine in our family bed.
Thanks for reminding me of my motherhood journey and the road I took to get here – and reminding me again of my daughter’s first mother, who taught me so much in the selfless gift she gave to me and to “our” daughter.

This is so true. I believe that loss, whatever kind, can be beneficial in many ways. It makes you appreciate those little ones even more. I understand, in a different way, but I know what you mean. I enjoy wearing my baby, nursing him, letting him sleep with me at night, and all of the “bad” things like lack of sleep, that go hand in hand with the good. You are a brave mommy!

What a beautiful story. I am glad that you were able to learn and grow in your parenting from one child to the next. I think that most of us do, but few of us have the perspective and experience that you do. Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.
