The woman who gave birth to us and all the people in the world are called mothers. However, cultural, social, and religious complexities and differences have complicated the exact definition of mothers. LGBT people, those who consider themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexuals, and transsexuals, also have their own perception of motherhood.

Motherhood can be considered as biological or non-biological. Women who procreated a child from her ovum and eventually gave birth to him/her are called biological mothers. Non-biological mothers are the reversals to biological ones. They take responsibility on rearing the child who does not come from their flesh and blood. In other words, non-biological mothers are also called a foster parent. Moreover, there is also another type of motherhood and it involves surrogate women. Surrogate mothers are being paid to carry the child of a couple, with no relations at all, for nine months. Most of the time couples from wealthy family or those who are from the entertainment industries hire surrogate mothers because they do not have sufficient time and they do not want to spoil their careers. Because of busyness, couples have to inject a fertilized egg to the surrogate. Learning what surrogate females do is not good to the ear. I mean what kind of people will hire someone to take responsibility to God’s creation? I mean they created a precious bundle of joy on their own so why need someone to foster the baby? You know what shame on them. For those who earn money by being a surrogate mother, shame on you as well. Common ladies there are lots of opportunities out there. Have pity on yourself. It is more fulfilling when you carry a baby from your own blood inside your womb for nine months. For couples, I understand how you love your work because it is for the future of your baby as well. Why not doing both pregnancy and work at the same time? Carrying your own child inside your womb for nine months is a great achievement. You will feel what motherhood really is than paying a woman to do it.

Motherhood is not an easy task because of the pain and struggles in the labor and delivery of a baby. Every mother is unique and they have their sets of strategies on how nurture and raise their child with discipline as well. Some prefers nutritious foods and enroll their children to prestigious schools.

Scrapbooking is another way in raising a child. Scrapbooks can give detailed information on the growth of your children from the day they were born to the day the experience puberty, adolescence and so on. Listing nutrients needed by your children can easily be done with scrapbooks. You will also be able to show your creativity, aside from becoming a good mother, through scrapbooking.
