Mary Jean Wolch-Marsh first conceived Birth Mother's Day due to her 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 heal.
Birth Mother's Day acknowledges and recognizes 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 recognize your own, others, or all birthmothers on Mother's Day or Birth Mother's Day, there are many different ways to do so.
