TODAY I'AM THANKFUL FOR BIRTH MOM, YOU MAY HEAR ME SAY THIS A LOT BUT, WITHOUT THEM JOSH AND I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE A ETERNAL FAMILY, AND GET TO EXPERIENCE THE GOOD AND BAD MOSTLY GOOD OF BEING PARENTS, ZAK BIRTH MOM MELISSA IS, SO CHRISTLIKE FOR HER TO BE ABLE TO PUT HER BABY'S NEEDS, BEFORE HERS, I CANT IMAGINE, SHE WAS NOT YOUNG SHE WAS 25, SO SMART, SO PRETTY, THERE IS NOT A DAY THAT JOSH AND I DON'T THANK OUR HEAVENLY FATHER FOR HER AND HER FAMILY, I GOT TO TALK TO HER MOM AND AUNT THE OTHER DAY, WHAT GREAT PEOPLE THEY ARE THEY ARE PART OF OUR FAMILY EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T GET TO SEE MELISSA, I HOPE ONE DAY TO BE ABLE TO MEET WITH HER AGAIN, AND TO BE HER FRIEND, I HOPE ZAK WILL WANT TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER AND HE WILL WANT TO MEET HER, HE CALLS MELISSA MISSY, I AM WORKING ON HIM TO SAY HER NAME RIGHT, THE FIRST TIME I MEET MELISSA I JUST WANTED TO KEEP TALKING WITH HER, AND HER MOM AND AUNT, I WILL ALWAYS BE THANKFUL FOR HER AND FOR HER GIVING ME THE BEST GIFT I COULD EVER ASK FOR, I'AM AGAIN EXCITED TO MOVE FORWARD AGAIN INTO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF ADOPTION, I CALL IT A MIRACLE, JOSH AND I KNOW ZAK WAS SUPPOSE TO FIND US, WE KNOW OUR HEAVENLY FATHER WAS WATCHING OUT FOR US, I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A POEM WITH YOU, TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOVE ONCE THERE WERE TWO WOMEN WHO NEVER KNEW EACH OTHER. ONE YOU DO NOT REMEMBER, THE OTHER YOU CALL MOTHER. TWO DIFFERENT LIVES SHAPED TO MAKE YOU ONE. ONE BECAME YOUR GUIDING STAR, THE OTHER BECAME YOUR SUN, THE FIRST GAVE YOU LIFE, THE SECOND TAUGHT YOU TO LIVE IT. THE FIRST GAVE YOU A NEED FOR LOVE. THE SECOND WAS THERE TO GIVE IT. ONE GAVE YOU NATIONALITY, THE OTHER GAVE YOU A NAME. ONE GAVE YOU A TALENT, THE OTHER GAVE YOU AIM. ONE GAVE YOU EMOTIONS, THE OTHER CALMED YOUR FEARS. ONE SAW YOUR FIRST SWEET SMILE, THE OTHER DRIED YOUR TEARS. ONE SOUGHT FOR YOU A HOME THAT SHE COULD NOT PROVIDE, THE OTHER PRAYED FOR A CHILD AND HER HOPE WAS NOT DENIED. AND NOW YOU ASK ME THROUGH YOUR TEARS, THE AGE -OLD QUESTION UNANSWERED THROUGH THE YEARS, HEREDITY OR ENVIRONMENT WHICH ARE YOU A PRODUCT OF? NEITHER, MY DARLING,NEITHER JUST TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOVE. AUTHOR UNKNOWN
SO THANK YOU ALL YOU BIRTH MOMS FOR GIVING US COUPLES OUR ETERNAL FAMILY, FOR THIS MY HEART IS FULL AND GRATEFUL.
