What Adoption Cost You | Adoptee & Adoption Greeting Card

"What Adoption Cost You" Greeting Card: Each item becomes a bold and unique statement, and every true-to-life greeting card tells a story.

Front of Card: "I may never fully understand what adoption has cost you"

Inside Card: "But I will never dismiss your grief or your truth. Honoring Adoptee Remembrance Day - October 30th."

The True-to-Life Greeting Card line was created and designed by adoptee Pamela A. Karanova to make room for real experiences that are often missing from traditional greeting cards. The collection includes themes surrounding adoption, adoptee experiences, identity, family, reunion, separation, grief, loss, DNA discoveries, NPE and MPE experiences, late discovery adoption, donor conception, estrangement, humor, difficult relationships, life transitions, and more.

These cards are part of a much bigger mission to create conversations around experiences that are too often minimized, misunderstood, or left unspoken. Adoptee mental health and suicide prevention are especially important parts of Pamela’s work, including her founding of Adoptee Remembrance Day – October 30th.

Whether a card brings comfort, starts a difficult conversation, says what someone has struggled to put into words, or simply brings a much-needed laugh, every True-to-Life Greeting Card was created with one thing in mind: REAL LIFE DESERVES REAL WORDS.

Expressing your sentiments or planning an event can be hard. Take some of the weight off of your shoulders by getting yourself an authentic greeting card!
