Adoption Diaries: Happy Mother’s Day

Elyse’s Adoption Diary:

Animal moms are lucky—they get to parent using their instincts. They don’t read What To Expect When You’re Expecting. They don’t deal with contrasting, unsolicited advice from in-laws. They don’t get even stopped on the street to be told they’re doing something wrong!

Animals know all about mothering in its purest, simplest form. Nature guides them to protect and nourish their little ones, and provide them the tools to survive on their own. And watch out if anyone tries to get in Mom’s way—if you’ve ever seen a mama cat hiss at an intruder, you know what I mean.

For being the ultimate model of selfless maternal love, I dedicate this diary to the furry moms I’ve visited at the ASPCA Adoption Center these past two years.

No matter how tired you are, you wear your motherhood with pride… 

You watch out for your babies…

…and nurture them…

…even when you’re feeling overwhelmed.

Happy Mother’s Day!
