Hi ladies.
My SIL and BIL have been awaiting the right adoption opportunity for 4 years. They were placed with a 1 day old last Christmas through a foster to adopt situation. Unfortunately, the baby was recently removed from their custody due to a quirky situation (the adoptive parents of the birth mom's other children who were removed for cause opted to take the baby late in the game, and the keep siblings together rules over turned common sense).
Anyway, they sort of went from parents to an empty house in a heartbeat.
I know Mother's Day will be especially hard, and we don't want to ignore the fact that she was indeed a mother for months, even if she doesn't currently have a child to call her own.
What should we do? Send flowers? A thinking of you card? I'm at a loss here.
Thanks in advance.
Re: Need ideas for Mother's day - tricky situation
i would send a thinking of you card. it would mean so much to me in my opinion. you are very thoughful. only too often, we IF and waiting to adopt, etc... ladies are forgotten on this tough day.
