Celebrating You Greeting Card

"Celebrating You" Greeting Card: Each item becomes a bold and unique statement, and every true-to-life greeting card tells a story.

Front of Card: "Celebrating You!."

Inside Card: "I know today's hard for you, but I hope you can still celebrate the beautiful and unique person you are! That's what you deserve today and every day."

This card is sentimental for many reasons, especially for anyone who knows and loves an adoptee who struggles with their birthday. This card omits the phrase "Happy Birthday" for a reason. Many adoptees are not happy on their birthdays but are more saddened by it. This card acknowledges the day and lets the person know you are thinking of them and you know the struggle with the day. The validation alone is significant. This could be used for anyone, but it was designed for adoptees in mind. I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do! For all my adoptee friends, this is going to be your birthday card next year!

Fun fact: Why is all the emporium merchandise a dollar amount and 21 cents? I was twenty-one years old when I found and met my birth mother. It was the best day of my life and a symbolic experience in my adoption journey. Sadly, I met her once, and she shut me out forever. The best day of my life was the worst because I never heard from her again.

Twenty-one years of agony passed, hoping she would change her mind. But she never did. Surviving this abandonment and rejection has been one of the most harrowing experiences of my life, but I made it. At one point, I was convinced I would die from a broken heart, but today, my heart is healed, and I feel whole. I am here to share my story and let other adoptees know they aren't alone and their feelings are normal for a not-normal situation. Nothing is normal about being separated from our biological parents at the beginning of life.
