They are only having the one child so using her name would be cute too!

I've also heard family day or using the child's name...like Andy's day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrating-adaption-finalization-suggestions#post-92082 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 13:33:05 +0000 anbanan15 92082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: oh that's really cute!

When I got their invite I was taken aback at first. I'm glad they are searching for a new name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrating-adaption-finalization-suggestions#post-92046 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 12:57:20 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 92046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Adoptees will tell you that Gotcha day conjures images of kidnapping and can be scary to them... We're just going to call it finalization day and celebrate as if we would celebrate a birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/celebrating-adaption-finalization-suggestions#post-92042 Mon, 12 Mar 2012 12:54:58 +0000 anbanan15 92042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend of mine is looking for a term to call the day they are going to celebrate their daughters adaption being finalized. They are tentatively using the term "Gotcha-Day" but are not thrilled about it and want something that they can use every year moving forward. Any suggestions? </p>
