What a thoughtful post. I too lost a baby through miscarriage so I know how you feel. I never had children after that. I think any woman (especially those who do not have children) who are "care givers" are Mothers. Whether it's other people's kids, the elderly or even pets -- anyone who gives care like a mom is a mom as far as I'm concerned. (((Twitch)))  Wonderfully stated!

Thanks Twitch for such a poignant post...I'm glad I'm not the only one!  I often think about how badly I spoil my pets...I think my kids would've been monsters!

I think Mom's Day (& Dad's Day, for that matter) is a great holiday. I think our parents should be honored every day...
But I often think of the "children-less Mothers"...the unsung heros who help to raise other people's children...or women who have lost children due to miscarriage. (I lost my son in-utero) 
I'm not saying that there should be a seperate holiday...but I do think these women should be recognized. Some of my warmest moments have been when an adult child that I helped to raise says "I remember that you were there when my Mom wasn't available"...etc... I've also experienced the pain when a callous woman would say that I wasn't a "Real Woman" since I had never experienced actual childbirth...or I wouldn't know the pain or joy since I had no (living) children of my own...it happens more often than you think. I only bring this up to remind us all that EVERY woman has a story...please appreciate that fact.
Thank you for your words and bringing this to light. Yes, there are some of us who have chosen not to have children for one reason or another...but there are those of us who have been there to raise step-children, neices and nephews and are still haning in there as a surrogate parent without recognition. Shame on the person that told you that you are not a 'real woman' due to the lack of the childbirth experience. Chalk that comment up to total ignorance as she has never experienced any other situation. |

Giveing birth isn't what makes a mother. It's the being there, the giving, the sharing, the nurturing. Anyone can give birth to a child it takes a very special person to be a mother. As a birth mom to 2, a step mom to 2 more and a foster mom to 2 more I was a mother to all 6. Happy Mother's Day to all the "mothers" out there birth or otherwise~ It only takes labor of the heart to make you a MOTHER not labor of the body~

Well spoken Fiesty (muah) My womb donor split when I was six months old...heard from her once when I was 14...once when I was 28.... She ain't my mother. My Mom is the woman who was there for me even when I was an angry teen...who put up with all my crap...blood and biology is completely irellevant.. I love my Mom sooooooo much....
