In going through our receiving end of adoption we experience a lot of joy. The joy of new life and the joy of a dream coming true. Our adoption counselor, an amazing Christian woman who is adopted and has adopted herself, said a profound statement to us several times. She said, "Birth Mom's never forget, never forget Birth Mom's".
A birth mother is an amazing person making a profoundly good and unselfish choice. She has three choices in front of her when faced with an unexpected pregnancy.
1. She can abort.
2. She can raise the child herself even though her life is rocky and unstable.
3. She can see a future for her child that is beyond what she can provide and she can make an adoption plan.
When Mark Shultz was confronted with the reality of his birth mothers options and the great life that he has been able to live he produced this song and video as a way of saying Thank You.
