...that her baby girl is safe.
...that I do not judge her.
...that her sacrifice has changed my life.
...that we call her Jane because it means "our God has been gracious to us"
...that I wonder all the time if Jane girl looks like her.
...that I think she is brave.
...that sometimes when I'm rocking my daughter at bedtime I wind up weeping because sometimes I wonder if I am what is best for her...me and not her.
...that I wish I could look her in the eye and somehow tell her thank you.
...that I pray daily for her salvation so I can spend eternity getting to know the woman that carried and birthed my daughter.
...that I wish I could know more about her so that one day when Jane asks, I could tell her more.
...that I'm doing my best.
...that she is my hero.

Rachel, this is so awesome. Thank you for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand and feel the same way about our kids birth mom's. I never thought I would feel like this. But it's hard not to think about them, and wish we could say thank you.
ReplyDeleteWow, Rachel - this made me cry. I feel so many of those same things.
