As you know, Mother’s Day is in May, which makes it the perfect time of year to celebrate the maternal figures in your life. Of course, we here at Adoption Choices of Florida acknowledge that this can be a difficult topic for many adoptees and so this month may not be a happy time for you. Adoption is a complex process that can bring up complex emotions and painful situations for many of the people involved. We see you and we empathize with you and what you’ve been through. That being said, we wanted to share some ideas for those who do wish to celebrate this month, particularly if you have both your adoptive mom and your birth mom in your life.
For many adoptees, this can be a little trickier and depends on the extent of your birth mother’s involvement in your life. We’ve included ideas for every situation, so feel free to choose whatever works best for yours, or take inspiration and do something different! Do whatever feels most comfortable and appropriate.
You can really do any of the same things for your birth mom as you might for your adoptive mom if the situation calls for it. It’s entirely up to you and what you’re comfortable with. It’s also okay if you’re working through difficult feelings and don’t want to celebrate this month. As we said before, adoption is complex and affects everyone differently and you’re allowed to feel how you feel.
We understand firsthand at Adoption Choices of Florida just how unique every blended family is. That’s why it’s so important to communicate and make sure to understand people’s boundaries and limits. We’re always here to facilitate and assist in whatever ways we can to ensure that Florida adoptees like you have the best possible experience with both your adoptive family as well as your birth mother. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions!
If you are a pregnant woman in Florida considering adoption, and have any questions or concerns about the adoption process, please don’t hesitate to reach out. For more information on adoption, visit us at Adoption Choices of Florida or call us at: (833) 352-3678
