Letters From Listeners

Thanks so much for your encouragement of adoption. I am an adopted child and it truly is the greatest gift that a woman can give. I LOVE my birth mom for the courage and true selfless love that she had for me. My parents always told me that she loved me and what a precious gift I was. It makes me so furious to hear women say they could never dream of giving a child up for adoption because they just "love it too much". This implies that mothers who would consider adoption don't love their children.

So terribly sad that our society doesn't celebrate, honor and encourage the selfless love of adoption. Thank you for doing just that. And please let me say to all women who are considering adoption for their baby, if I was your child I would say "I love you. Thank you for loving me enough to give me a better life. You moms are my hero."
