This year I got to celebrate Birthmother’s Day with some of my favorite ladies in Seattle. My husband and I were visiting his family for Mother’s Day and it was perfect because I got to go to the annual Birthmother’s Day Brunch @ the LDS Family Services Office in Renton.
The office was decorated beautifully by Tara and Tawnia (The TATA’s) with a relaxing beach theme.
The food was fabulous and we had a pretty good turn out. There were about 14 birthmothers there celebrating the day. We even had a birth daughter there (recently reunited with her mother after a closed adoption for 18 years)!
We made some cute, inspirational necklaces,
toasted to Birthmothers everywhere and the children we love,
wrote letters to our children, attached them to balloons and released them.

I am so glad I was able to go and catch up with some of my soul-sisters! Recognizing and celebrating Birthmother’s Day makes Mother’s Day much easier for me.
Also, on Mother’s Day I received a beautiful (and super cute) flower arrangement from E and her family. E’s mom said that E even picked them out online. I love them!
I was able to carry them onto the airplane that night and they are now on my desk at work. :)
