How do you thank the woman who brought your child into this world?

Michigan Author Deanna Kahler shares her experiences with adoption, parenting, nut allergies and more on Patch.

She recently posted an amazing story and said Words Are Never Enough.

"When I was almost 37, a miracle happened: I became a mom for the first time. This monumental event in my life was one that didn’t come easily. I suffered two miscarriages, endured many struggles and cried many tears. But one day, my prayers were finally answered. My long-time dream of becoming a mom was made possible by one woman – once a complete stranger – my daughter’s birth mom."

You can follow her blog on Patch.
