Birth Father's Day

We don't "celebrate" anything "birth". I'm not with my son's father, but I would never encourage that. We don't celebrate "birthmother's" day either. I celebrate becoming a mother, I sure don't celebrate becoming a birthmother, which is one of the worst days of my life. My son and his family don't do anything for me that day, and I don't expect it. My mother refuses contact so I pray for her on that day. I pray for my father on that day as well as he passed away before I was born.Birth Mother's day was put together by women who had lost children to adoption as a day to get together and talk about their lives, their struggles, their successes. It has since been co-opted by the adoption industry and used as a way to relegate us to the back burner and not take way from adoptive moms. We can share, it isn't that hard. If there was a "birthfather's day" I'm sure the exact same thing would happen.
