Dear Birth Mother

The past few months I have seen what it means to be a mother and my heart aches for every mother that has her children removed. This is to all those moms who suddenly have to deal with sleeping in an a half-empty house.

Dear Birth Mother,

My heart aches for you because I know how much you must be hurting. No, I have not had my children taken from me. In fact I am the person they call when your children need a safe place to be. Please know your children are safe, loved, and cared for even though you are not by their side. I promise I will do all I can to help them. I will tell them about how their mom made some bad choices but she is trying to make things right. I really do hope you can be the mother that your children deserve. You may have made some mistakes but please take the steps you can to get your kids back and in a safe environment. If you can't do that right now, know that your child will be well cared for here. With love from our house to yours.

Sincerely,
A foster mom
