and occasions to give as well as receive."

Note: The words "birthmother" or "birthparent"
are derogatory terms utilized by adoption "counselors"
and "facilitators" in order to diminish a mother
into playing a solely reproductive role in her child's life.
The terms "birthmother" and "birthparents"
are used on this site as a consession to search-engine requirements
for a North American audience. The terms "mother",
"single mother", "natural mother," and
"exiled mother" are acknowledged to be accurate,
respectful, and nonderogatory terms. See " by Diane Turski for more
information.
