Birthday's can be filled with family, friends, fun, and festivities-- and for adoptees they also are filled with feelings. 
 
Birthdays as an adoptee hold a mass of complex feelings of loss, grief, guilt, anger, relief, joy, and every and anything in between.
 
Therefore, in order to help young adoptees acknowledge, identify, and express their own big birthday feelings, this short reflection activity is a meaningful way for adoptees and those who care for them to begin important conversations with one another and self.
