Gifts For Birth Moms After Placement

In the same vein of matching gifts, if you’re crafty, matching quilts for birth mom and baby is a gift that will last for years to come. It also, like the elephant, gives your child’s birth mom something to hold on to when she leaves the hospital.

A necklace with your child’s initials or name on it is a way for your child’s birth mom to keep her baby close to her heart all the time.

If you’re crafty you could make this, otherwise people on Etsy can do it for you, like CrazyLeggies, who made the bear pictured here. Take the outfit your child left the hospital with (maybe buy two, so you can save one of the outfits in your own memory box) or some other sentimental clothes and have it turned into a bear.

This necklace from Charmed Collections is an example of a simple and meaningful gift for birth mom and daughter to share. It’s also subtle; the recipients will know what it means, but it won’t scream “adoption” to everyone who sees it.

This is less sentimental and more practical. Get a basket of things to help your child’s other mama take care of herself in the postpartum period. Ideas include lotion, face masks, nail polish, some sweets, manicure kit, or a small blanket.
