Today is Birthmom's birthday, and we can't help but wish we could give her an amazing gift. Unfortunately, we have to be very careful about this sort of thing because the State of Illinois doesn't want there to be any situation where we look like we're "buying" the baby.
This seems ridiculous to us because Birthmom has become a friend, a family member, and someone very important in our lives. Surely, it's only natural that we'd want to give her something special on her special day. On the other hand, I can see the state's point...I'm sadly confident there are situations where people have "bought" babies.
Even if we could give Birthmom a gift, nothing in the world could match the precious gift she is giving to us. If gratitude had monetary value, then Birthmom would be insanely wealthy.
So, to Birthmom--we hope your birthday is as wonderful and amazing as you are! We look forward to your next birthday when all three of us can celebrate together with you!
