"Congratulations on the birth of your child."
This letter informs me that I can request my child's birth certificate. I'm still weeping tears and rolling with laughter at the thought of "giving birth" to a 16 year old teenager! I mean.... OUCH! that's gotta hurt!
What an odd feeling to be able to request a birth certificate for my son that has me listed as mother. I'm not sure about this curious custom we follow of changing the birth certificate of an adopted child. I mean, yes, I want to be his legal mother, and that of my future children, but it feels odd to just erase the name of the birth mother and impose my own name.
The different paths that lead to being a mother. I didn't do the many hours of labor, and don't have the stretch marks either. However, I'm going through the full pain and misery of parenting a teenager. Oh, and the joys too. GRIN.
Well, I need to head to the post office and request a copy of my son's birth certificate!
Hugs to everyone... I state yet again... I'M A MOM!!!!
Hugs...
