Adoption Christmas Ornaments You’ll Love

December 15, 2019 by Jill 3 Comments

If you’re looking to put a little bit of your family’s history on your Christmas tree, I’ve got some great recommendations for adoption Christmas ornaments. Why adoption Christmas ornaments? It’s part of our family’s story and we have the kind of tree that reflects where we’ve been and the things we enjoy. From personalized adoption Christmas ornaments to country specific adoption Christmas ornaments to ornaments with a decidedly un-Christmassy vibe, I’ve got a great selection for you to look at. If you’re looking for that special nod to adoption to put on you tree, I bet you find something you love.

And if, not? Check back. I’m constantly on the lookout for adoption Christmas ornaments other families would like. By the same token, if you have a favorite maker on Etsy or Zazzle (or just see something cool on Amazon or at Target) let me know so I can look at adding it.

Adoption Christmas Ornaments You’ll Love

I still have my 27-year-old daughter’s “Baby’s First Christmas” bauble on my tree, even though she’s grown up and has a family of her own. I keep telling myself I’ll give it to her one of these days but I always end up keeping it on my tree because it helps me remember a part of my life I like being reminded of. That’s why I love the idea of adoption Christmas ornaments. If what hangs on your tree represents what’s happened in your life, you might want to add an adoption Christmas ornament to your collection.


Also, these make great gifts to give adoptive parents, adoptees, or birth parents (obviously not all of these are birth parent appropriate) both at Christmas time and on other gift-giving occasions. You can also use many of these adoption Christmas ornaments in non-Christmas decor…lots of these would look cute as a gift wrap topper.

Just click on the orange links to see the full description.

1. “First Christmas Home” ornament

This comes in several color options.

Seriously, how adorable is this?

2. Pink “Happy Adoption Day” ornament with butterfly

This isn’t particularly Christmasy and could be used it a lot of other ways. It would make an adorable gift wrap topper or addition to a goody bag.

3. “Circle of Hearts” Metal Ornament

4. “Missing Piece” ornament

Adoption Gifts|Ripped Jeans and Bifocals

I love this one.

4. “Good things come to those who wait” China Ornament

This is a China-adoption specific ornament (and she’s offering a sale right now – not sure how long it will last so you might check out the other items in her shop) that could be appropriate for waiting parents. 

I was personally really sensitive about our adoption wait and there are parts of the process where I might not have felt great about being reminded of that. I think this one just depends on the giftee.

5. Adoption Triad ornament

I really love the look of this one. I think it would be an awesome gift for participants in an open adoption.

6.”I was born in two places” Korea Ornament

7. “From Haiti with love” Ceramic Ornament

8. Ceramic Painted Starfish Ornament

Not everyone loves the Starfish Story. I like it and it is meaningful to me, even though I don’t like the “rescue a child” way of thinking…that’s me personally, and I get that everyone has different views. If you like the Starfish Story, this adoption Christmas ornament is really pretty. 

Read my thoughts on the Starfish Story here.

9. Together Forever Ornament (China) with date

I think this one makes a great Christmas gift or an adoption gift in general. It’s also a great one to get for yourself. 

10. Customizable metal ornament (China)

This is one of my favorites. It can also be used as a travel memento or other type of party favor. 

11. Family Tree Hand-Painted Wooden Ornament

12. Adoption Triad Glass Ornament

I like the subtly and simplicity of this adoption Christmas ornament. It’s a simple globe with the adoption triad symbol, no text. This symbol is easily recognizable by most people with a connection to adoption.

Did you know…

Amazon’s Baby Registry has an adoption option when you sign up. If you are in the process of adopting, sign yourself up! If you know someone who is adopting, share this with them and help them sign up.

    I wish I would have seen this ornament post sooner! I LOVE these! Although, I can still use the ideas for this Christmas coming up. I was looking all over for beautiful ornaments centered around adoption. These ideas are perfect! Thank you for taking the time to find them and share them. 🙂

All About Jill

I'm a digital content creator and essayist who copes with parenting and most other situations with humor and snark. Just so you know, if this weren't the internet, I'd be smiling awkwardly and answering simple questions like "How are you today" with gems like "I like pockets."

I really do love pockets, though.

I spent 26 years in the USAF, which went by really, really fast. I'm very proud of my service but I'm loving my second act even more. Writing gives me the opportunity to flex my creative muscles and that's what makes me happy. Welcome.

Have you ever driven to and around Walt Disney Wor Have you ever driven to and around Walt Disney World?
.
Despite having many trips to Disney under our belts, driving around Walt Disney World Resort and to and from the parks was something we'd just never done. Our last trip was a little different - we had a second leg of our trip outside of Orlando and needed a car. Our trip luckily coinicided with the opportunity to review the 2021 Mazda CX-9 Signature AWD. 
.
The Mazda CX-9 is a roomy midsize crossover with some seriously luxe touches. The second row has roomy captain's chairs which is perfect for our boys and would also work for adults. We didn't use the third row and kept it folded down for extra cargo space but if you need extra seating, you've got it. 
.
This car has a lot of nice features but I have to say the wireless charging pad and the cooling seats were my favorites. It was above 90 on one of our Disney days and it was definitely nice to cool off in the car after a long day having fun in the parks. 
. 
My profile has a full review of the Mazda CX-9 and also some helpful information on driving at Disney World and why you might want to consider it for a future trip. Happy to answer any questions!

Masks at Walt Disney World: a small change effecti Masks at Walt Disney World: a small change effective today: guests may briefly remove their face coverings for outdoor photos while maintaining appropriate social distance. 😷
.
Prior to today (like in this snap of my family at EPCOT last week) face coverings were required unless eating or drinking while stationary. This small change makes me so happy and hopeful. I appreciate all Disney is doing to keep us safe and look forward to our next set of magical photos where you can SEE our smiles.

Do you have any questions about visiting Walt Disney World right now?

You can fly, you can fly, you can fly! (ad) We ha You can fly, you can fly, you can fly! (ad)

We have had so much fun at @waltdisneyworld this week and while it is always a little sad to say "See ya real soon" we are excited to be off to our next adventure with @visitflorida today.

I've gotten so many questions about what it's like to visit Walt Disney World Resort right now and I will answer them all - I've taken lots of pictures and taken notes. It is definitely a different time to take your family on vacation but I promise, the magic is still there. 

One thing that hasn't changed is the need to give kids downtime during vacation. Doing a packed day in the parks is super fun but our kids get tired (and TBH, grownups get tired-er) and having that end-of-day splash followed by a late start or quieter day the next day helps keep everyone even and feeling amazing about being on vacation as a family. Balance is always important.

This pool is the Dig Site Pool at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. Ask me anything about staying here and I will answer.
