To our Birth Mom on Mother's Day

Dear Future Birth Mom,

Happy Mother's Day! We haven't met yet and only God knows when exactly that will be. But today, on a day that we celebrate moms, I felt it was only appropriate to write you this letter.

Mother's Day has come with mixed feelings over the past few years. I am so grateful for the moms in my life, but I have also felt that something was missing. I truly believe that something is you.

You see, you are the one that will make me a mother worth celebrating. So today, I want you to know that I celebrate you; all that you are, all that you will be, and the ultimate gift that will someday be ours to share.

Someday our paths will cross and we will forever be stitched together by a human being that we both love so much. Someone that will carry parts of each of us with them forever.

I want you to know that you are at the top of my prayer list each and every morning and that will never change. I pray for strength for you; strength in your decision to choose adoption, strength to get through the days after our child is no longer in your arms. I pray for direction; that God will lead you to us when the time is right and I pray for our relationship; that we will always love on each other and our child.

I pray that we will always celebrate this day together, even if it may never be in person and that our child will always know just how much their moms loved them.

It's hard to put into words just how much I love you and how much you mean to our family. I hope that someday I will get to show you just how much your gift means to us. But in the meantime, I will continue to pray for you, for your family, and for our child.

Thank you, to the moon and back, for the gift that you will give us...that will make me a mom, something that for so long I didn't know was even possible.

I don't know when you will get to read this, when we will meet or talk, or begin our family together, but know that you are loved...so loved and always will be. So today as I celebrate all of the moms in my life, I also celebrate you, dear birth mom.

Love,
Tara
