The song is an open letter to Birth Mothers - thanking them for giving the gift of children to those who otherwise might not have experienced the miracle of being a parent.

I thought this was going to be a sarcastic spoof on adoption, but it didn't take long to realize these people were dead serious.
When it comes to sharing feelings about adoption, I will admit, when I think of "open letter", I think of something far more open and honest, like the open letter written by Tina, which could be seen/read here: http://poundpuplegacy.org/node/14249
I know if I were to write an open letter, it would not be be nearly as soft and sweet as some mother's lulabuy. My words would be screaming at an industry that should have done better for a child at their mercy. Yes, if I were to have a song with the words I felt, I would want it to bring bring people to their knees in tears.
Maybe it go go a little like this one sung by Declan Galbraith:
