Sometimes both Adoptive Families and Birth Parents have a difficult time.

A reminder of the “Hallmark” Christmas cards, the perfect family, the perfect children and the perfect holiday. 2. Feeling alone when others are celebrating. 3. Childhood memories. Adoptive Families If just beginning the adoption process the holidays can be a reminder that parethood hasnt happened yet.If in an adoption program but not matched, the holidays may increase anxiety about the wait to parenthood.If matched with a birth mother and waiting for the baby to be born, the focus of the holidays may not be on the forefront.
