Since our adoption is very open and nontraditional (like us) we spent a lot of time in the hospital with birth mom and her bio son. We brought small gifts of snacks and drinks, bathroom slippers, toys, and crayons. We also did a lot of errand running and even some childcare for her son so she could rest after her c-section. She was really alone at the hospital. Our funniest gift has to be the bed frame. She was sleeping on a matteress on the floor in a rented room and couldn't get in bed because of the stitches. Later, after I got home I sent her a birthstone locket bracelet with some of Q's hair in it. I think birthmom would say that photos are the greatest gift of all. We text her photos frequently of Q doing just daily things and she loves them. We will be with birthmom on Mother's day after 5 months apart. I can't wait and I think I will bring those roses!
