Thank you Abana for sharing that. I've actually shared that on my FB page. It reminds us on the sacrifices our moms had to go through just to give us the best. I was legally adopted and I've met my biological mom when I was 10. Because of their honesty of telling me the truth, I was able to face my life and deal with them in such a way that I am able to love them. Each day is a chance for me to show my gratitude to them. I owe my adoptive parents and my biological folks my life. And I couldn't imagine my life without them. Biological or adoptive moms, what you shared is just truly about LOVE.

That made me teary eyed. My first child is being adopted by my hubby and our family has never thought of him as someone adopted. My hubby loved him as his own and I could truly relate to what you've said.

It's true whatever imperfections we have as humans, our parents consider us as their most valuable possessions. And now that we're going to be mums ourselves, it's now our turn to guide or kids into responsible people who have a good heart.

You are so right there Edda! I did a lot of awful things when I still did not have a baby... and I am sure that I would still have in the future :P But I know my parents would still love me... specially now that I have given them another baby to dote on!

I just hope my kid would be less headache compared to me. lol

“Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood - finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without.”

It's quite comforting to know that our moms do feel this towards us eventhough we may have failed them several times!
