Mother’s Day Adoption Carnival
Submitted by admin on May 8, 2010 – 7:29 am23 Comments
We all know that pictures tell a thousand words.
We’re hoping you can tell us what your picture says in six.
Carnival:
- Post a picture of your mother (the one you most refer to as a mom). This could be your grandmother, your birthmother, your aunt, your sister, your biological mom, your adoptive mom, your best friend, your surrogate mom…Your MOTHER (or both your mothers).
- Include a Six-Word-Memoir with the picture describing her/what she means to you.
- Link back to GIMH with Mr. Linky
- If you don’t have a blog you can email your carnival submission to us at pickelfam at yahoo dot com
- If you are not in the adoption community you can STILL enter!
We HAVE PRIZES this month!
I can’t list them here because of BlogHer Rules but head over to Faith and Illusions to see what fine prizes we have to offer you. We will choose the winners on Wednesday the 12th.
Hi there,
Sorry I left a Mr Linky in error. I had planned to tag it onto my post but changed my mind and will post next week instead.
Can you delete Lilah Grace from Mr Linky?
Thanks.

That was not easy to do! Kudos to Hemmingway!

Great opportunity to honor moms!

Yeah, I know…and Hemmingway told an entire story.

I only have one mother but my daughter has two. So if she were to read this post I guess she’d be asked to choose which one is the MOTHER.
Me who gave her life and relinquished her as a baby because I was not ….(too complicated to explain)
Or the woman who got to adopt her and raise her because I was not…(too complicated to explain in one blog comment)
I will have to assume that she’d choose the woman who raised her. That makes me want to slink away and feel bad about myself but I’m not going to do that. I’m going to leave a comment here instead letting you know that I don’t like your post.
Adoption means TWO mothers. Both worth honouring. Both worth loving and both worth celebrating on mother’s day.
I shall cherish my mother’s day gift when it arrives in the post.
I wish ALL the mothers a happy mother’s day.

So, put two pictures…no problem with that. That is what this is about, even if it was not written in that manner.

Thanks for changing the text, that’s cool. Thank you.

No problem…thanks for bringing it to attention

Will the McLinky expire on the 12th or earlier than that date? I don’t plan on posting until Mother’s Day itself, so I want to make sure I can still get it in on time :)

I love this idea! Thank you for helping me to succinctly encapsulate my mom – not an easy task for such a wonderful woman!

We’re up! But this time it is my kids who are adopted from China, not me,who posted — so it is Zoe & Maya at adoptiontalk! They don’t have photos of their birth mothers, so they drew pictures and then had a heck of a time picking 6 words to describe these unknown women. It is interesting to see how they view their birth mothers. . . .

Mine’s up, but I also email it to you by mistake- I had trouble deciding whether or not I wanted to post it on my blog.

Linked in :) Thank you for this opportunity.

Mine will appear tomorrow. This was very, very tough.
