It is special....I remember poppet being 'different' during this time as she seemed to 'remember' physically the 'move' etc. I also remember posting and had many kind words of reassurance that it will pass from these boards, which worked out to be true....

Congratulations. Personally i think it's better to not make a big deal of anniversaries of the day your child/children moved home. They don't really need reminders IMO that they didn't used to live with you as it just unsettles them and then she will think of it every summer and feel unsettled every time. Far better for you and DH to celebrate quietly, maybe arrange a special family outing/meal or whatever, but I wouldn't tell Pink why, if it were me, although she may ask why the two of you are smiling like idiots all day.

I agree with you a certain point JMK..
As Pink is 5 and is VERY aware of her beginnings, is very positive and proud of being adopted, we decided to acknowledge it. No, we didn't go mad with the celebrations, but she was very wanted, is very loved and clearly remembers coming home. We have done a lot of life story work with her. I was adopted and my parents never did anything to celebrate, which did feel a bit pants. Pink has had numerous moves ,so to us all, it was a celebration that she was with us forever and confirmed that security she craved. That's how we discussed and acknowledged our anniversary.
