Why??? Just curious

This is just my take on it - but from how birthmother's day came about, I feel it's more about birthmother's honoring other birthmothers - rather than adoptees honoring their birthmothers. This site describes it: [url]http://www.geocities.com/PicketFence/2599/birthm.htm[/url] I see birthmother's day as depressing . . . this is my first Mother's Day as a reunited Adoptee, and you can be sure my birthmother will be getting a "Happy Mother's Day" card. Giving her a "Happy Birthmother's Day" card - to me - is just reminding her that she's just the woman who gave birth to me, bringing up pain from her past. She's my mother - in a different way than the mother who raised me, but still my mother. Again, just my 2 cents.

I got a great idea: How 'bout birthmoms honring their kids and telling us who they are? THEN I'd celebrate a birthmothers' day. Seems to me that birthmothers' day should be a personal thing, maybe a day that you reunited?
