I know you still remember
 On that April Day
 When you gave birth to me
 and had to walk away

 I know it is not because
 You did not care for me
 You only wanted what was best
 And that is how it had to be

 It takes a very strong person
 To give a child away
 Doing what is right for the child
 No matter what others might say

I think of you often
 And wonder who you are
 If I will ever know </summary><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7257214694168648653/posts/default/3794292100252655547'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7257214694168648653/posts/default/3794292100252655547'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://birthmoms.blogspot.com/2009/11/i-know-you-still-remember.html' title='I know you still remember'/><author><name>Birth Mom of Adoption</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12289138742590864268</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='27' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3fmdf0D0eMc/STc46cvN5VI/AAAAAAAAJ5M/JaRFmiyw3W0/S220/s18801590_33267759_8905.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257214694168648653.post-928062040098829696</id><published>2009-11-07T14:13:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T06:53:58.087-06:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Organizations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Health care'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Joe Barton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eighth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pro-life'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Abortion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='United States Congress'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Stupak-Pitts Amendment'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Americans United for Life'/><title type='text'>Vote YES on the Pitts-Stupak Amendment!!!</title><summary type='text'>

I wrote this on my Adoption Network Group on Linkedin. The group seems to learn a lot from each other. You can join if you want, just click the link! It is also on Birth Mom Missions, of course.
