[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<BR>I've been here for over 2 years, hadn't seen "BW" , saw it in a post, had a moment of dyslexia and thought it was "BM" and didn't think it was a very nice acronym, but came up with the explanation "birth mother" (no sensible asking for me!). Couldn't make heads nor tails of the post I read. Somedays are like that. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<p>[This message has been edited by Lor (Lor) (edited May 03, 2001).]
