a poem for today.

It's Mother's Day today. It was a lovely day, despite the rainy cold weather. I checked my email after tucking the boys snugly in bed, and I found this in my inbox from Jill:

Carmen,

Something I wanted to share with you...

"The moment a child is born the mother is also born
 she never existed before
 the woman existed but the mother, never
 a mother is something absolutely new..."

-Rajneesh

Thank you Carmen...forever, thank you
.


Sometimes you're a surrogate. And sometimes your eyes well up when you realize, again and again, how surrogacy has given you just as much as it has given them.

Happy Mother's Day,
Carmen
