Birthmother's day is a day to celebrate and honor our birthmotherhood. Its a day to reflect on the choice we made and the life we gave. Its a day to recognize, that we are good mothers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our children. This is a day to give gifts to birthmoms to show how much she is truly appreciated.
History on Birthmother's Day:
Birthmother's Day is celebrated the Saturday before Mother's Day. It originated in 1990 by a group of birthmothers in Seattle, Washington. Most birthmothers will agree that Mother's Day is a very painful holiday and these women wanted to create something that would honor their birthmotherhood.
While searching for ideas for a Birth Mom's gift for K this year I came across a great idea, a pedant made from the fingerprint of the adopted child. I loved this idea and I thought K would as well. It was a great way to give her back a physical part of Katie.
Thankfully my sister is very talented and can make almost any type of jewelry. So while she was visiting in January she made several molds of Katie's finger to take back home with her to figure out how to make the pedant.

Here is what my sister came up with. We sure hope K liked it!
