An Apology

The sponsors of the "Non-Mom" Contest received a barrage of comments and changed the wording of their contest to "Adopting Mom". I think "Mom" is a better title, but anything is better than "Non-Mom". Check out the comment to the below post....a personal apology from Teleflora.

Not flesh of my flesh
Nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously
My own.
Never forget
For a single minute:
You didn't grow under my heart,
But in it.
--Fleur Conkling Heyliger
