There you go. Pick out a good card (it's too bad Hallmark doesn't make a birthmother card...I need to write them about that) and handwrite something sweet like that.
Dear _______,
We just wanted you to know that you were in our thoughts and prayers today. We acknowledge you and the sacrifice you made and we are thinking about you on this special day. We love you very much and to us you are priceless!
Love,
AP's
I get letters kind of like this from my daughter's parents from time to time. You could also include
pictures, a
drawing or handprint from her birthchild and any siblings he/she may have. I always ALWAYS looked forward to the pictures and every once in a long while I'll get a picture or something drawn by my very favorite artist. It is truly irreplaceable!
Jewlery is nice, maybe a locket with her birthchild's picture and hers in it? Maybe it could be a certificate for a free sitting at a photo place for her and her birthchild to have their first portrait. It could be a giftcard for clothes or some special interest she might have. One year for a holiday my daughter's APs sent me a Precious Moments statue of an angel holding a heart. I don't collect those (so I'd never seen it before) but they wrote a letter with it explaining how I would forever be in their hearts and God's...so, it was sweet, unique and thoughtful.
All of these are little ideas that don't take a lot of money or time to put together, but for a birthmother they could be worth more than you know!
