I pray for her

Today is the day I pray for Caleb's biological mother. Because Vladimir is 8 hours ahead of us, she is just beginning her day, Caleb's birthday. Does she relive his birth over in her mind on this day? Does she pray for him? Does she know that he has been adopted or does she think he is sitting in an institution somewhere? Does she know that he is even alive? These are the reasons I pray for her. I want her to have peace. I can't imagine how difficult it was for her to let him go. So as I get ready to celebrate Caleb's birthday tomorrow, I pray for her.

    Happy birthday to Caleb! :) What a blessing this big boy is to so many.
    I won't ever know what parents feel when they give a child up for adoption, but thank God for her doing so.
    I think that if she could imagine the life that she hoped for her child, he has been given that and more.
    We'll pray for Caleb, you and his birth mother.

    I know your heart, Amy. Each year on the kids' Adoption Days we say a special prayer for their birth parents. It reminds us all to be thankful for the sacrifice that they made and to honor them.

    I will pray for her. The thought of what Luka's birth mom has thought has never really crossed my mind. It must be so hard for most of the birth moms who weren't able to keep their children.
    Happy Birthday Caleb!

    I will pray for his birth mother also, There are probably a lot of people who never even give a thought to these birth mothers who give up there child. But, how very lucky for the adoptive parents that there are such unselfish women willing to give up their children. Give Caleb a birthday kiss from me. Love you all, Aunt Sandy

    This was my exact thought on my boyfriends 18th birthday. He is adopted, and was adopted at birth. What's his mother thinking? Does he have her eyes? Does his father know he was born? Where is she?

    I just wonder... glad I'm not the only one. I pray for her too.
