Christmas Thoughts

As milestones, and holidays roll around it brings thoughts of Emma's birth mother to my heart. I wonder if she is thinking about her. I hope and pray that she has peace about her decsion to give her daughter to adoption. Now I know that the circumstances that suround Emma's entering the orphange were not great. I know that her mother had to leave her baby and never look back. However I dont feel that constitutes her not caring about her daughter. She had few choices and chose to give my daughter a chance at life. This might not have been the outcome if other choices were made. I hope that her mother has peace. I will tell Emma that she was loved by her parents, not in the way that her Baba and I love her but loved just the same. I wish I could know who this wonderful person was. So I could in the very least tell her thank you. Thank you for taking a leap of faith and hope and in duing so giving me the joy of motherhood. I love this little girl so much. She is the center of my world and I enjoy every day with her. I found this video by Mark Schultz and christian artist. It expresses what I hope Emma's knows and how Emma will feel toward the mother who gave her life and a chance. I want her mother to know that we appreciate the sacrifice that she made.
