To my son's birthmother

A letter to my son’s birthmom:


To my dear son’s birthmom,

How do I begin to thank you for the gift that you’ve given my husband and me? It is priceless. You have given us love beyond belief from our special little guy. He brightens our days with laughter, smiles, humor, hugs, and kisses. His face is the first thing we want to see in the morning and the last thing we want to see before we go to bed at night. He radiates joy wherever his travels take him. No one who meets him can keep from grinning.

You would not believe how fast he is growing. He eats everything in sight! He is not our little baby anymore, as he once was the day we picked him up from the hospital. He is growing into an intelligent, stubborn, and very active toddler. He can run, jump, and do somersaults. It amazes us at how coordinated and limber he is.

Our little guy can never seem to keep his mouth shut. He is constantly talking. He repeats everything he hears, so watching what we say around him is crucial. He is like a sponge. He easily learns everything that we teach him. It is so exciting to see him learning his colors and a few letters and numbers. There seems to be nothing that he can’t learn.

I just wanted to let you know how much we love the little guy who grew in your stomach, and in our hearts. His love is unconditional. A bad mood is not possible around him. We will always make sure that he knows that he had two moms. He grew in one mom’s stomach and in the other mom’s heart. He will also know that both moms love him more than anything.
