Any ideas for a step parent adoption announcement?
15 November 2009 6 Responses
A Parent asks, My husband is adopting my 2 children (will be final next week) and we want to send out a photo announcement, but I can’t find any pre made announcements online so I need to come up with the wording for them on my own. Any ideas? We want the card to be happy and fun, as this is great news for our family.

You could send a card introducing the new improved “Husbands last name”‘. With a pic of the whole family. Its a new beginning for you all enjoy and congrats.
Ask your children. No offense, but even though they are gaining a new dad, it is still a loss to them to lose their original Dad…even if he never “stepped up to the plate”. It seems like in most families, the important people would know anyway. I would just do a small family get together to celebrate.
So you want to celebrate the fact that your kids have lost their biological dad(s)?! Niiiiiiiiiiiice. I’m glad you’re not my mom.
7rin, what a horrible thing to say! I myself am going through a step parent adoption for my daughter b/c her biological father walked out when I was pregnant and my little girl NEEDS a father. It’s not a celebration of losing a bio dad, it’s celebrating a selfless man who wants to step up where someone else couldn’t! My daughter is VERY proud that she now has someone she can call dad.
I agree with kmm!!! What an aweful thing to say 7rin! I too am in the same situation! My 2 girls had their biological father walk out on them 7 years ago (when my youngest was 1 wk old) because he didn’t want the responsibility anymore. My husband of 5 years has been the only father-figure in their lives and they were the ones who wanted him to be their dad! This is what they chose! This wonderful man selflessly stepped up and chose to love my girls unconditionally as if they were his from birth! It’s too bad there are people out there who turn their backs on their children and their responsiblity! Luckily, my girls now have a father they know loves and cares for them and that’s not going to abandon them like their biological father did! Kids aren’t stupid! Don’t be ignorant! It is a celebration! A celebration of family and love!! Get a clue!
To 7rin and Linny, perhaps you needed a mother such as the ones above. Then maybe you would think before posting such hurtful comments. I have been raising my step-daughter for about 3 years now. I’m lucky in the aspect that my husband is a fantastic father. Unfortunately, his ex-wife was not. Thankfully I will be adopting her in the next 2 weeks and her mother’s constant abusive behavior with will no longer be an issue. As for asking the child her opinion, she’s 6 and literally is counting down the days til I’m “officially” her mother. She’s also asked me nearly every day for months now, when she can tell everyone I have adopted her. She wants love and stability, not genetics.
Now as for the topic of the posting, does anyone have any suggestions for a step-parent adoption announcements? Our family (6 year old included) is thrilled and wants to announce it to the world.
