Today is Birthmother Day and tomorrow is Mother's Day in the USA and I just wanted to take this time to reflect on the honor and sheer joy it is to be a mother to one very happy, precious and wonderful little boy. It truly has been the most amazing journey and I wouldn't change it for one second. Eoin has been the biggest blessing and gift we have ever been bestowed with. But we would never be this family of three without a very special women - Eoin's birthmother Amy.
Many of our friends and sometimes strangers ask what it is like to have an open adoption. We always say that Amy is family and that Amy has entrusted Eoin to us and she chose us to be Eoin's parents. We cannot even imagine our lives without Eoin but we can also never imagine our lives without Amy. Amy is someone who has so much courage and love and made such a hard decision.
And so on this special weekend we wanted to ask everyone to just take a moment and remember mother's and families everywhere, all over the world, and consider what a miracle family is no matter how it comes to be or what miracle brings you all together. Family is precious and a gift not to be ignored or taken for granted. Cherish each other and have a fun and love filled weekend.
