Comforting Birth Mothers

On Mother’s Day, my husband and sons spoiled me as usual with flowers and breakfast in bed. But the following Friday, I celebrated the holiday again – this time with a group of very special moms. For the past 15 years Catholic Charities Spokane and Spokane Consultants in Family Living have sponsored a luncheon for mothers of all ages and backgrounds with one thing in common: they are birth mothers. Sandra Maher, adoption specialist for Catholic Charities, facilitates the event. “For most birth mothers, this time of the year is difficult,” she said. “The purpose is to honor the special women who’ve relinquished children for adoption”/ Cindy Hval , SR Front Porch.

Question: Do you know someone who has given their baby up for adoption?
