What to buy

I don't think its wrong...you don't know how your daughter will feel wearing it in front of her other mother...but she doesn't have to wear it in front of her.... Have you thought about writing "my angel" or "my baby" or something else that is non-offensive to everyone? I don't think "my daughter" is offensive at all...if my bdad gave it to me my adad might take offense to me wearing it...but that's his problem. I think you are sweet to consider her amom's feelings!

well, my daughter is close to 40 and her mother is elderly. I have nothing but love and respect for her. Thanx, perhaps angel is the right wording, then everyone ( including me) will be happy. thanx again.Now what about the grandchildren? Do you think it's appropriate to sign gifts with Nana? Their grandmother is mimi.dmca

I absolutely think Nana is appropriate. My bgrandma signs grandma even though my other grandmother is grandma also... at first my bdad's mom would sign "your other grandmother" (kind of jokingly) and now its just, "love, grandma". i hope your angel enjoys her gift :)))))))

You are blessed to be a part of your daughters life but I think that may hurt her adoptive mother.. Maybe you can put it up for her and give it to her at the appropriate time.. I am an adopted child... 30 years old now.. Searching for my birth mom Do both of you a favor and always keep in touch. You are bless by your situation

Dear DMCA,A bracelet is a nice idea (most Mom's do like to give their girls jewelry) but being the sentimental fool I am, I was thinking of something more "visual". If you're not already firm on the bracelet idea, what would you think about giving her a collectable? Like something that she would put in her curio forever and ever? If it was something that just SCREAMED of your personality or your feelings for her, then herself, and the kids, would always look at it and think of you!!! Brainstorm!!!................another idea!!!!! How does she feel about dolls????? I have a Madame Alexander doll that my Momma gave me as a child, (not one to play with but only to look at!), and to this day, I would count it high amongst my most treasured possessions!!! I've loved it forever and every time I look at it, I think of my Momma. Just a few gift ideas..............Love and good wishes,Songbird

Some of my favoritist gifts of all are things that were special to my birth mom. She had passed away before I found her but I was given some things that belonged to her and they are precious to me. A bracelet is a great idea too and I liked the "angel" idea.
