I'm Thankful for Birth Moms During National Adoption Month

We're halfway through National Adoption Month. While the media tends to focus this month on creating awareness of the 120,000+ children in foster care who are waiting to be adopted, I like to view it as a month for everyone touched by adoption to celebrate.

I was reading the November issue of the BirthMom Buds Bulletin and came across an article by Melanie Mosberg that explains National Adoption Month from a birth mom’s perspective. Melanie writes:

White ribbons worn during the month of November serve as reminders of the lifelong benefits adoption offers to young women in crisis pregnancies, children in need of permanent homes and families built through the miracle of adoption. Adoption directly impacts the lives of virtually millions of people.

Melanie suggests several ways birth moms can celebrate, including:

Get thirty sheets of paper in multiple colors. Daily write something about your adoption journey. On Nov. 30th, assemble into a collage.

Work on a life book for your child or your own journal.
