A Letter from my Birth Mother
I found this touching video of a letter a birth mother wrote to the son that she gave up for adoption. I wanted to share it with the readers of my blog. Enjoy.
Adoption at the San Francisco Zoo
A female gorilla from the San Francisco Zoo showed us that adoption is not exclusive to the human race.
According to KCBS.com, shortly after giving birth, the mother gorilla named Monifa left the nest and did not attempt to care for her newborn baby boy. The zookeepers tried several times to get Monifa to connect with the baby but were unsuccessful. Each time, the new mother would move far away from the baby and eventually built a new nest.
Knowing the baby needed a mother, the zookeepers united the baby boy with an older mother named Bawang. Although the workers still have to feed the baby, Bawang has taken on the other responsibilities of amother and the baby is doing well.
If you would like to see photos of the baby gorilla, the San Francisco zoo has posted more pics on Flickr. CLICK HERE to see them.
Finding his Birth Mom
There are a series of videos in which Alex Gaylon documents his search for his birth mom. It’s an interesting experience to be able to tag along for the journey and see the various emotions that he experiences. The journey is divided into two parts and culminates in the second video when the woman on the other end of the phone says “hello.”
