You chose to have your baby
You chose to let him live
Although you knew deep down inside
A life to him you could not give

You made the hardest decision in life
To let him be raised by another
You gave him up, unselfisly
You made me a new mother

You'll never know the joy he brings
The stories yet to be told
The he is stubborn, he is funny
Or that he has a heart of gold

There is no way to thank you
For the gift which you have shared
For if you didn't make this choice
My son I wouldn't have

"This is for my son....his mother gave me my life when she allowed me to adopt him."

How precious! Children are a gift, indeed.
I think this should be posted where all mothers who have ever had to make that choice could read, so they'd know that there is appreciation out there.

Thank you Dragonpoe - All mothers who make this decision do not realize how happy they make the new parents.
