As many families prepare to celebrate Mother’s Day each may, there is also another important day to honor that weekend – Birth Mother’s Day.
Birth Mother’s Day is celebrated the day before Mother’s Day as a way to honor and recognize birth mothers and their brave decision to choose adoption.
If you have adopted and exchange pictures and letters with your child’s birth mother, take the time to write her a letter or a card to honor this day and the choice she made. Birth Mother’s Day is also a great way for you to discuss adoption with your child and share with them their adoption story and how special it is.
Whether you are an adoptive family, are waiting to adopt or are merely a supporter of adoption, celebrate Birth Mother’s Day this weekend and honor the many brave and selfless birth mothers who chose adoption for their children.
