8 Fun Family Activities To Invite Birth Families To

Pick apples or another fall fruit, like raspberries. You can sneak a sweet snack while you work and chat!

It doesn’t have to be anything fancy, and keeping it casual will help the conversation flow. Consider serving comfort foods, or maybe ask everyone to bring a favorite childhood dish to share.

There’s something about cooperating to solve a challenge that brings people together.

Nothing beats crisp air, some hot coco, and the dulcet tones of the marching band! This is a great chance to socialize with your child's birth family.

Get dressed up for a local Halloween event, like Boo at the Zoo or a Trunk or Treat. Bonus points if you coordinate costumes! This is one of my family’s favorite fall traditions.

Spend some quality time in the kitchen baking pies or bread, or decorating candy apples. This is particularly easy if you just went fruit picking!

Go for a hike and, if you’re somewhere where the leaves change, collect some favorites for a craft. The great outdoors also makes a beautiful backdrop for some impromptu family photos!
