	"Birth"-Mothers Exploited By Adoption (BEBA) - a personal response to Birthmothers Day
		Having a separate day underlines the distinction made by society that we are no longer mothers, and that in their eyes we do not have the right to be recognized and honoured as mothers on Mothers Day.
		Many mothers who were treated as "special angels" by agencies and prospective adopters during their pregnancies are then tossed away like so much garbage after the surrender of their babies...
		So, instead of "Birthmothers Day", I would like to suggest that we mark a day to recognize a hope for all natural families who were separated by forced/coerced adoption to be reunited, for natural parents to be reunited again with our children as true families in all senses of the word, including legal.
