You seem like a great couple, and I hope you've found your baby by now. If you haven't, I will pray that you do soon. I think it is wonderful that you posted this. You seem very genuine. If I were a birthmother, I would trust you after hearing this.
We would hope that our adoption(s) would be "open" which means the birth-mom and her baby would at least have knowledge of each other and at best an on going relationship to foster identity growth and to answer questions the child will have.
Birthmother differentiates between a mother who gives life to the baby and a mother who adopts/raises a child to adulthood. In choosing adoptive parents, she is choosing what she feels is best for her child. Our child will always know that their birthmother was not merely an incubator. She'll be known as a loving mother who made a personal sacrifice for her child. Birthmothers may find themselves in difficult circumstances that preclude them from raising their child in the way they had hoped.
The term "birthmother" is very disrespectful because it basicly means incubator. It suggests that a woman who surrenders her child is only his or her mother at birth and has no other purpose but to have a child for someone else. Also to say it is empowering for a woman to pick who she gives her child to is like saying it is empowering for a man sentenced to death to pick who kills him. It isn't.
Would a 2 yr old work
