I think that most birthparents say that the day of their child's birth is one of the hardest days every year. I think sending a small gift - flowers, a special card, lets the birth parent know that you understand that for them, the birth of their child symbolizes great loss, as well as great joy.
Poolside - it would be the equivalent of you sending flowers to a friend on the day of the anniversary of the death of their child, or if your mom had had a stillborn baby, you might consider sending her a card on that day. Its a recognition that in the midst of your joy, another has lost.
