A family Adoption Day event is a way to honor the day your adopted child came into your family. This is celebrated on the anniversary of your child’s adoption, which may fall on National Adoption Day (November 21 this year).
Many families have come up with other creative names to mark the anniversary of their child’s adoption: Family Day, Love Day, Arrival Day, or Family Anniversary.
Unlike your child’s birthday party which includes several friends, this celebration is usually done with just the immediate or extended family. You could also invite birth parents, former foster parents, or anyone else who is an important part of your child’s adoption. This celebration is separate from the child’s actual birthday.
Here are a few ideas to help honor and celebrate the way your family came together:
- Look at scrapbooks or photographs from the time your child was adopted.
- Tell your child’s adoption story. Kids will want to hear this again and again. You can even create your own book with your child and illustrate it or use photographs.
