I don’t think I have many birthmoms reading this blog, especially not any that live near NC but just incase:
The Birth Mom Buds group is having a Birthmother’s Day Event in Charlotte, NC on May 10th. Birthmother’s Day is celebrated the day before Mother’s Day. Some don’t like the fact that we have a separate day to celebrate one of our “hats” of life, but I personally love that I have TWO days to celebrate parts of who I am, whether I am parenting a child or not. I considered myself a mother before Savannah came along, my duties were just a bit different.

This group of ladies are wonderful. Soon after I delivered Kaylee and came home with an empty heart and arms, I received a big package from this mysterious “Birth Mom Buds” group. Quite honestly, I was scared. How did they know I had just placed my daughter?! I looked them up on line and was thrilled to find such a helpful website, and turns out another birthmother knew I was about to place and recommended they send me one of their care packages. These are sweet, sweet people with huge hearts that just want to connect, love and help each other.

I think this is a wonderful chance to meet other birthmoms and share our stories. I know I haven’t met many birthmoms face to face (but those I have are some of my dearest friends!). Thank goodness for the internet or I don’t know how I would survive and know that my feelings are normal.

I didn’t go to the event last year, but I will be going this year. I’ve even been asked to lead a breakout session about journaling! God’s at work again getting me out of my shell.

Email me or BirthMom Buds for more info if you’d like to join us!
