I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but I would caution all adoptive mothers to be careful when celebrating "Birthmother's Day". Not all bmothers like the idea of a separate day for them. For alot, it doesn't make them feel special, it simply points out that they are not considered to be a real mother to their child.
As an adoptee, the idea of Bmother's Day really bothers me. I, for one, have bought TWO Mother's Day cards, and will be sending my bmother's card this week, so it will arrive in time for Mother's Day. She may not have raised me, but she is no more or less of a mother than my amom is. They are both my mothers, and I plan to acknowledge that.
