I confronted our pastor about it a few years ago. You know what? It worked! He changed all his wording by Father's Day the next month and the next year re-phased altogether. Hugs to you and all of us that have a hard time on Mother's Day. <em>CC's last blog post..</em><a href='http://ifonlyihadsuperpowers.blogspot.com/2008/05/therapy-thursday-things-to-hear-and.html' rel="nofollow">Therapy Thursday: Things to hear and understand by 12 months</a> I hate Mother’s Day at church too.

It took me about 5 years to talk to a minister... and I have stopped going to church altogether on Mother's Day. Or every day, for that matter.... It is good that you are strong enough to do this. I'm glad for you. <em>HeatherRainbow's last blog post..</em><a href='http://heatherrainbow.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/how-did-you-get-here/' rel="nofollow">How did you get here?</a> Yey (((Jenna))) That is a great accomplishment.

It is wonderful to find a pastor like yours. Could you ask him to bottle his compassion and share it around? <em>Margie's last blog post..</em><a href='http://thirdmom.blogspot.com/2008/05/spirit.html' rel="nofollow">Spirit</a> I hope Sunday isn’t too hard for you, Jenna, and hope, too, that you find support among family and friends.

I am an adoptive mom, so I know nothing of your personal struggles. I read here to know more and to try to learn for the time when my son has questions. However, I want you to know that I have a tremendous amount of respect for you and more so for the woman who gave birth to my son. I pray for her every night. I love her for what she did. I have no contact with her (international adoption) and I know very little about her. None the less I am eternally grateful and have nothing but respect and love for her. I am working on my own blog post about this. Hopefully, I will get something going before the week is out. I hope this all came out right. I truly want you to know that mothers like yourself are on my radar, even if they are not on everyones. God Bless you and your family (all of them). <em>Mary's last blog post..</em><a href='http://ourlifeupstate.blogspot.com/2008/05/referrals.html' rel="nofollow">Referrals</a> Jenna,

I am an adoptive mother of a child through international adoption, and your blog has given me a new and fresh perspective on birth mothers. Although I know it is hard to show your vulnerability on this blog, please know that it is a blessing to all those who read it, both the birth mothers who experience similar feelings and need to know there are others out there experiencing the same thing and the rest of us who can always use a reminder of the blessings of birth mothers and how we can best be praying for them as well. :) <em>Valerie's last blog post..</em><a href='http://myowncraftywonderland.blogspot.com/2008/05/few-random-musings.html' rel="nofollow">A few random musings.</a> I’ll be thinking of you on Sunday especially and the rest of this week.
