When Mother’s Day arrives, I have so many mixed emotions. My wife says that we shouldn’t say anything to our daughter on Mothers Day, but inside, I didn’t feel that this was right. We thought by not saying anything would spare her the pain on mothers day. Just because she gave her baby up for adoption doesn’t mean that she isn’t a mother, especially after what she went through to bring him into this world. I’m so glad that I found this web site, which I shared with my daughter. It ansered my question. So, with that said, I want to say Happy Mother’s Day to my daughter and to the adoptive mother. You did the right thing, Heather, and one day, you’ll see. The baby is safe, happy and doing well in a great family. You did what’s best for him right now. As a Mother, you made a great first decision for your son. I love you, Heather.
Stay strong.
Love, Dad
This is the most beautiful "letter" from a father I have come across. So much strength, love and pride.
If your daughter takes after you at all, she will be able to see the positive side of her very difficult situation.
