but I had to post it:

Until my daughter Sara started the process of adoption, I had not thought much about it. I have a niece that is adopted - a wonderful girl! But until Sara and Jared decided to start the adoption process, I didn't realize the many emotions involved in this process; especially for the birth mother. I now realize that it is for the love of her child that guides her in making the decision that will be best for her child, whatever that decision is. When I see my granddaughter, Emmie, I think of her birth mother and what a loving, selfless woman she is. Adoption creates a connection that is so pure between these two moms. Emmie will always have her birth mother and her adoptive mother. The love that we have for her birth mother is so real it sometimes makes me cry.  She will always be a part of our lives. We are forever grateful for her great love!

Thank you mom.  I am fortunate to have such a loving, compassionate, supportive mother.  I appreciate your sweet heart.
