National Birth Mother's Day

National Birth Mother's Day is a holiday observed on the Saturday before Mother's Day in the United States. It is a day to honor and recognize birth mothers, who are women who have given birth to a child but may not have raised them, often due to adoption. National Birth Mother's Day is intended to provide a time for birth mothers to celebrate their courage, strength, and love, and to acknowledge the sacrifices they made in choosing adoption for their child. It is also a day to raise awareness about the experiences of birth mothers and the importance of supporting them in their journeys. The holiday was first observed in Seattle, Washington in 1990, and has since been adopted by other states and organizations around the country. Celebrations may include special events, gatherings, and ceremonies that honor birth mothers, as well as opportunities to share stories, offer support, and raise awareness about adoption and birth motherhood.
