DESCRIPTION:

Mary Jean Wolch-Marsh first conceived of the idea of Birth Mother’s Day as a result of her own adoption experience. She knew she was a mother, but didn't feel recognized as such, either by those around her or by her daughter's parents. Remembering the feelings she'd experienced at her daughter's birth - feelings of triumph and euphoria - she used these to help in her own healing.

Birth Mother's Day brings acknowledgement and recognition to every birth mother who ever loved a child lost to adoption.

For birth mothers, this observance can be a time to affirm joys and acknowledge the sorrow, grief, and pain that are a part of many experiences. It can also be a time to break the silence and release years of anguish, worry, shame, or guilt. The purpose of Marsh's Birth Mother's Day ceremony is insight, affirmation, growth and wisdom.

Whether you choose to recognize your own, others', or all birthmothers on Mother's Day and/or Birth Mother's Day, there are many different ways to do so:

Way’s to Celebrate

Attend a Ceremony. Birth Mother's Day ceremonies may be organized by support groups, adoption agencies and other local groups.

Check local listings and the Adopting.org Community Calendar to see if one is planned in your area.

You also have the option of planning a ceremony of your own.

Mary Jean Wolch-Marsh has written a comprehensive Birth Mother's Day Planner available through Insight:
