As I was recently looking through some correspondence, there was an anonymous note that touched me. I thought that it probably describes very well the thoughts and feelings of a birth mother.

Here is what she said, “I gave my baby boy up for adoption 7 years ago and just wanted to say hello and that I am missing him very much. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about him. 🙂 I just wanted to say thank you again for the chance to give him a wonderful family. I love you son. I’m always thinking of you. You are never forgotten.”

These words are beautiful. This sweet birth mother is still grateful, seven years later, for the wonderful adoptive family that she was able to place her son with. She also is still feeling all the tender emotions of loving the baby boy that she placed for adoption.

A Act of Love Adoption Agency offers wonderful counseling for birth parents before and after adoption. If you know someone who is pregnant and considering adoption, please have them call our wonderful staff to talk to a counselor at 1-800-835-6360.
