Birth Mother Matters in Adoption Season 2, Ep. 135: The CHRISTMAS EPISODE

Remember to:

• Give yourself and your family grace regarding phone calls/skypes and facetime since COVID-19  has prevented so many families get together.
• Avoiding holiday parties and get togethers is the best idea for a newborn for many reasons- and COVID-19 adds another layer!
• Relish in the small things.
• Make little special memory holiday crafts (ornaments in honor of this year.)
• Newborns do not have memories of the holidays and can only see them through pictures- so take a lot!
• Having a newborn is a great excuse to do only the things you want to do. 
• Most importantly make memories and document: pictures/videos/ journaling/etc…
• When cleaning or bringing in new items- use the old adage- in with new- out with the old.  (Remember to DONATE)
• If friends or family members ask for Christmas ideas- suggest things like donations to a college fund for new baby or a maybe a CD to be used towards college.
