No matter why a birth mother chooses adoption, you want to acknowledge her experiences as a mother. After all, pregnancy is a taxing journey regardless of how it ends. At the same time, it’s important to tread lightly — even gifts that seem thoughtful could make this time more difficult for a birth mother. Instead of buying a baby-oriented present, gift the birth mother in your life something meant to make the next steps in life a little bit easier.
