grocery store buying a dozen yellow roses for myself, just as I will do 
again this year. And I will write to me a card that says, “A good mother
 does what is best for her children ... you are a good mother.” And I

One goal of Birth Mom Missions is to increase media awareness of Birth

since 1990)

 the momentum of the just-finished 40 Days-Dallas vigil at
Robinson's abortion center on Record Crossing Rd, and in light of the

still remember
 On that April Day
 When you gave birth to me
 and had to walk away

 I know it is not because
 You did not care for me
 You only wanted what was best
 And that is how it had to be

 It takes a very strong person
 To give a child away
 Doing what is right for the child
 No matter what others might say

I think of you often
 And wonder who you are
 If I will ever know

not at all like I imagined it would be.  Don't get me wrong,  I wouldn't
 change my decision! I know she was meant to be adopted into her family.
  I am still so amazed at how clear that was.  It's just that 
post-adoption is nothing at all like I thought, not even close.  Not 
worse, not better,  just different.  I guess all I had to go on was my 
own imagination at the time!
