May 12, 2012 Birth Mother's Day

Dear Peep, 
The day before Mother's Day has been designated by the adoption community as Birth Mother's Day.  In the last 6 months you have become much more aware of your adoption and your connection to JoJo, your sensational, beautiful and sassy birth mom.  3 years later, even if I could, I still would not change a thing about the way you came into our family, other than to take away the sadness and struggle that JoJo had to experience during the months she searched for the best thing to do for the baby boy she was carrying.  A couple of months ago she moved even closer to where we live and has changed many things about her life, including starting school again on the 21st, living clean, and she now has a job.  We have been trying to get together with JoJo the last few weekends but buys schedules got in the way so on Saturday we decided to surprise her at work (after I checked to make sure it would be okay if we came in the see her sometime).  We entered her work and she caught sight of us and became so excited!  She gave ya a big hug and kiss.  You were excited too.  She gave you a little kid kit and you wanted only JoJo to put your paper card together.  We were able to chit chat a bit as we were her last table.  We had one of her fellow waitress take a picture of all of us.  As we were leaving you both had a moment of growling in each others faces and looking eye to eye and I see your connection.  

I am grateful that we are still able to be in each others lives . We are so proud to see her working hard, she has dreamed of getting to work for some time and has come a long way.  We sent her cards in the mail but it was nice to see her face to face.  We are forever grateful to be the ones for you.
Love, Mama
