On our Facebook page (facebook.com/adoptivefamilies), we asked readers, Did you buy or make your child’s birth family a holiday gift? If so, what is it and how will you give it to them? Here’s what you said:

“We exchange ornaments. We’ll also give them several professional Christmas photos, school pics, and homemade cookies. This is our yearly tradition.” —LISA

“A Christmas ornaments with our child’s picture in it, this year’s school pictures, and some homemade treats. We will visit with our child’s paternal birth grandmother and will send her biological mom her gifts. We are just beginning to learn our new forever relationships!” —STEPHANIE

“I buy my child’s siblings small gifts and make her birth mom a photo book filled with pictures from the past year.” —TERRI

“We have relationship with quite a few biological family members. I made hooded owl blankets for my daughter’s sister, brother, and four cousins, as well as another little one who lives with her sister. I just got them mailed out today and it feels great! Her biological mother will get a photo calendar featuring our daughter (and so will a few other birth relatives).” —LEXIE
