+1 @ Socrate focus recovery efforts. Never a perfect solution, but lemonade comes in many forms.
I realize that there is the aspect of emotional attachment that trumps technical in many instances. In that regard, the capture of the moment of the "at peace" look on the mom's face ... imo, THAT is the message.
As to the OP aspect of the image, pulling it from the port is sage, imo. Besides the focus, the color is kind of a wreck (sorry @ harsh, but for portfolio purposes, sugar coating doesn't do you any favors).
Imo, the value of the image is indeed the capture of the mom's emotive. The baby is secondary / ancillary information. In that regard, I think the image can be a lemonade candidate by mitigation of the color detractors via mono, and some additional adjustments to try and pull us more toward the real message at mom's emotive.
Without knowing what else you have in your port, this might be something to go creative with, or maybe you've got other images that equally capture the kind of emotive you've captured here. Port or not, I think the capture of her emotive was very nicely recognized.
As to inclusion in your port ... OP, not a snowball's chance. Rework, maybe @ depends on how it fits with your other available pieces.
Here's a first stab for consideration at some lemonade. Other creative treatments could be applied as wel, but I tried to go for something soft and classic to harmonize with the "at peace" message ... as always, S&P to taste.
