Without getting into a novel (as I usually do), suffice it to say that DD's birth mom and I do all the "work" in terms of maintaining a relationship between our families. So in the past, I never thought about sending DD's birth dad a father's day card. I also have to say that my husband is, I don't know, FIERCELY protective of his "role" as Dad, so I didn't want to step on his toes.
Well, at our most recent visit, DD's birth dad and I just totally had the best time. He really is awesome and I said to DH, "I want to send DD's birth dad a card and gift card this year for Father's Day." And DH said, "Yes, of course!" (whew!). So I am planning to do that next week.
I have to say that I think it is "easier" for me to acknowledge Mother's and Father's Days because they parent other children. I think I would do so anyway, but I just throw that out there...
