I Admire My Mother

I never knew my birth mom and like most adopted children I made up fantasies of what she might be like. I wondered whether she was kind and supportive and would encourage me to do my best and bring out the good in me. I guess she would do if she could . But then I realised the mom who adopted me is doing all those things too. and even if I get a bit fed up with the way she brings me up sometimes I realise it's just for my good. I really am a lucky girl to have two moms - one looking down on me from heaven and one looking after me on Earth
If it's any consolation, parenting is often as frustrating and confusing as kidding is. You might be surprised how often we don't like ourselves much even though we are as confident as we can be that we are doing right by you.

You are lucky to have your adoptive mother and she is lucky to have you and you are further lucky to have that sweet knowledge that your birth mother is loving you as well.

Very sweet.
