birthmom jewelry?

Any suggestions for a gift? I would like it to be something subtle so she can wear it without having to explain anything.

Red Envelope and Etsy both have some great options.

If our adoption hadn't been closed, I was going to get our DD's birthmom one of the open heart necklaces. It has a big heart, a smaller heart inside of it and then an open heart that wraps around the other two. My DH bought me one for Mothers Day and I love wearing it and knowing myself that it represents us, her birthparents, & then our DD. If she ever opens the adoption up more, we will probably get her one and send it to her. Here is a link.

You could also do one of those tree necklaces with your LO's birthstone in it. Or an initial necklace with LO's birthstone.

I think birthmom gift is a very thoughtful idea. I never got anything from K's APs, except the required pics and updates.

When Luke was born we got his BMom a necklace with 3 peas in a pod. One to represent her, one for Luke and one for us.

Then for her birthday this year we got her a necklace that has Luke's thumbprint on it. Subtle, simple, but she loves to wear necklaces, so we try to stick to that. :-)

I would do something simple like a heart, or key, or something that links 2-3 shapes.  No birthstone.  

I would think that as a birthmom it would be nicer to have something subtle that held a secret, instead of something I might ever feel compelled to explain.

We got our birthmom Aquamarine solitaire earings to represent DD (March Birthstone - and she wanted more earings she's going to be a sophomore in HS this year, so it's her thing). 

Then we also got her a loves embrace pendant It's a heart with a diamond solitaire inside of it that's made to look like a hug.   

 

We told her that was from us so that if she ever needed it or even when she didn't she'd always know we were with her.

Brighton has pretty charm bracelets.  You could buy one and add a few charms to it.  Maybe an initial or charms that symbolized her/your child. 

We found a necklace at Macy's that had 3 hearts connected to each other - we gave that to DD's birthmom the first Christmas (after she had signed TPR.)

We got our bm a necklace from Zale's Shared Hearts Collection. She loved it!

If you did give BMom a gift, when did you give it to her? Post-TPR or Post-finalization?

Our caseworker said to hold off until after TPR was signed.  TPR was signed mid-October and we waited to give her the necklace until Christmas.

We gave our BM a necklace at the hospital. I had it custom made for her through Urbanite Jewelry. (see photo in my blog).

It was a simple sterling silver necklace with the initials of her two sons. She really liked it and teared up when we gave it to her.
