I just read the most amazing story. The story was in response to people who do not understand adoption and how a birth mother can make an adoption plan for her child. They say “I could never do that.” They can’t see the gift of life she is giving to her child, or admire her very unselfish decision? Here’s the story.
"An adoptive mother defended the birthmother of her child. Someone had said 'I could never give up my baby,' to which she responded, 'Could you if you were in a burning building?' Relinquishing a child for adoption is like tossing your child to safety, from the window of a burning building. It was not an unloving act, the act of a woman pathologically unattached to her child, but a supreme act of love."
I think this is a fantastic way to explain the gift of adoption to those who are outside the adoption community and just wanted to share it here on my new blog.
