Birthmoms Are Not Taxis

We have all heard stories about how some (very few) birthmom's kills the child or leaves it at a dumpsite but we know that there is few compared to ALL the birthmoms in the world. I believe in my heart that it is not an easy choice or decision for 99.9% to ever consider placing. And just because they are in a positon that makes it hard for them to raise that child themselves does not diminish that love. It "IS" because of that love, that they choose adoption most of the time. Let's show respect for them by not referring to them that way. If it had not been for a bmom with love enough for her child to see and understand that she has to let it go, many of us would never know the sweet joys of parenthood.God bless all.
