Message from the Artist: Inspired by a photo submitted by Kathryn. A celebration of the first moment a child belongs to two mothers... gently passed between birth mother and adoptive mother.

Kathryn's beautiful words: “Adoption is the most beautiful and tragic event in motherhood ~ for both the mama saying goodbye and the one saying hello. My daughter’s birth mother is the strongest woman I know, to make such a painful choice: She broke her own heart for the sake of her child. That, to me, is mindful mothering in its deepest, hardest form.” ~ Kathryn Bailey ❤

Your Art Print will be created onto premium-quality heavyweight paper with an 8-ink process for vibrant, fade-proof color that illuminates YOUR space. Your smooth matte Archival Print will be hand-signed and carefully packaged for safe travels into your hands. I use archival materials so your ready-to-frame artwork will have 100+ beautiful years to inspire tender memories and touch hearts. Even when mom says she doesn't want anything, she may yearn for recognition of her motherhood journey.
