My husband and I are adopting our son after 3 1/2 years in foster care. We have a very good relationship with our son's birthfamily. Although we are overjoyed that it will finally be official, we also grieve for our friends who are giving up so much. We tell them all the time how grateful we are; however, we would like all of our families to know how special our relationship is - would it be appropriate to use their names (firsts only) on our adoption announcement - or would that hurt? I would especially love to hear from you birthparents.

I think it would be very nice for you to include a thanks to them in the announcements. Some of the recipients of the announcements might not "get it", but that's just part of adoption, unfortunately.
I wouldn't think that it would "hurt" anyone, but I might be missing something. You might want to post your question on the Birthmothers' Board entitled "Dialogue Between Bmoms and Amoms". You might have a better chance of getting a Bmom's point of view.
