May 10th is Birth-Mother’s Day, Do You Have A Gift Yet?
Did you know that this coming weekend is not only Mother’s Day but also Birth Mother’s Day? YEP! May 10th is Birth Mother’s Day!
So, get out your address books and put that card in the mail and make sure to mark your calendar to call her on SATURDAY, NOT SUNDAY because every (and I mean every) Birth Mother needs to be recognized just as every other mom is (and it’s not just about flowers, either)!
Although May 10th is Birth Mother’s Day an adoptive family should honor their child’s Birth Mother’s role in their family every day. Families must keep in mind that she is ALWAYS part of their family. Yes, I know that sometimes circumstances prevent this from being the case but it seems that more often than not these days, Open Adoption is becoming more joyous and comfortable.
Need some meaningful ideas for your child’s Birth Mother?
Do you recognize your child’s Birth Mother? How do you do it? When?

On ‘regular’ Mother’s Day… although we don’t have much contact, we honor her and talk about her with my son and usually whenever possible (ie her address hasn’t changed) mail her a card (overseas…)
You know, we are in pretty regular contact. The first year, I sent a special card and pictures. Last year I was so swamped, I *think* we called at some point over the weekend. This year I have the intention of making something crafty and getting it to her in the near future.
