Thinking about Christmas....

I'd like to hear from some of you other foster parents out there....Do you do something for your foster children's birthparents for Christmas? If so, what do you do? A card? Special picture? Gift?

Last Christmas we didn't even have contact with his parents so it wasn't an issue. Since then of course we have developed a relationship (kinda) :) . I was thinking perhaps a special card with his picture or something similar.

What are you ideas???

I'm not a foster parent (yet, we are in the process) but I think anything with his picture they would love. Ornament? Card? You could even have him make her a Popsicle stick picture frame or something :)

We have always saved their school pictures until Christmas time and put a picture of the child in a (dollar store) frame and then let the kids pick out one or two things at the dollar store for them or I have made homemade candies for them.

Thanks for sharing! I saw a neat photo cube that has 5 slots for pictures and it rotates. I thought that would be cute :)

@Mandy..I remember making candies with Cara many times in your kitchen :) Yummy!
