Mother's Day Ideas for Birthmoms

[theatrepal]

We plan on sending DD's birthmom something for Mother's Day. We are thinking about something that involves her hand and/or foot print. Has anyone done something or is planning on doing something they really like? I'm looking for ideas!

For our DS's first christmas, we made a hand print ornament from clay to send along. We don't have any contact with his birth mom at this point, but are hopefully that one we might. I am not sure what we are going to be doing around mother's day. I would like to start some level of tradition, but also recognize that it is not always possible for our CAS to keep lots of items on file for whenever his Birth Mom comes around. Perhaps we may start a keepsake box with us, for when we do get the opportunity to meet with her. (sorry that got rambly)

I'm not sure if we should do something for Mother's Day or not. Baby is due in June, and she has other children, but I don't want her to feel pressured because we've given her gifts (if that makes sense). Thoughts? Is a Mother's Day gift appropriate?

Honestly, I don't think I would in this situation. Maybe a card at most, more likely a text or message saying you're thinking about her.

I agree. At most I would send a card, and even then I would probably be careful about what it said.

I would not do anything in this situation. Since she has other children if you communicate over text I would wish her a happy Mother's Day.

Ok, good...that's what I was thinking. But then worries I was being "un-thoughtful". Thanks everyone!!
