Different methods of celebrating Mother’s Day have evolved in the last several decades. The tradition of giving gifts, flowers, and celebrating mothers with festive meals has early traditional beginnings.
The story begins in 1858 when community activist Anna Reeves Jarvis organized Mothers’ Works Day in West Virginia.
In 1913 Congress declared the second Sunday in May to be Mother’s Day. Since then Mother’s Day has ballooned into a billion-dollar industry.
Nineteenth century women dared to dream of a day that honored women in activism.
Mother’s Day is unique in the adoption community. Mary Jean Wolch-Marsh first conceived the idea of Birthmother’s Day as a result of her own experience. Many children in open adoptions and adoptees celebrate the day separate from Mother’s Day. Many celebrate just the one day, Mother’s Day, without making a distinction. Birth moms sometimes plan their own ceremonies on Birth Mother’s Day according to adopting.org. To honor your birth mother you can write a poem or letter, send a card, give a piece of adoption jewelry, send flowers, or plan to get together with your birth mom.
Nancy Ashe, adoption author, calls a real parent any parent that is not imaginary.
Some famous moms who are birth parents include Roseanne Barr, Joni Mitchell, Kate Mulgrew, and Loretta Young, among others.
According to ivillage.com, becoming a mother is a life-changing and powerful experience.
And, according to the Just For Moms Foundation, as women and moms we share common bonds.
