When we mention in passing that two of our kids are adopted, a common reaction is “Oh, I know someone who has adopted.” People often share stories about their adopted grandchild, neighbor, classmate…hairdresser’s nephew. When people learn they have something in common with you, they like to share…sometimes overshare.
Much of what people know about adoption is through association with families built through adoption but like with any other subject, the average person gets a lot of their information about adoption through social media.
In that spirit, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite adoption memes. And, did you know it’s pronounced meem and not mee mee? It took me forever not to say mee mee in my head.
Pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy…or if you’re me, go get your cup out of the microwave where you left it half an hour ago. You might want to reheat it first, though.
1. Love Makes a Family
2. We Match Hearts
3. Birth Mother’s Day
4. Limb Differences
OK, so not TOTALLY adoption related but one of my kids has a limb difference and besides…Nemo always makes me smile.
5. Mom. Just mom.
Quite possibly my favorite one ever
6. No DNA required, thank you.
7. Not all rainbows and roses
8. A GREAT Instagram account to follow – AKA Big Tough Girl. I love this one:
9. And just one more because everybody has this same problem
Last one…and this is not an adoption meme but we’re ALL moms and the drudgery of laundry binds us together…or something. HA!
Thank you for reading!

I love these memes! Thanks so much for sharing. I’m going to share this on Twitter and my Pinterest page.
P.S. “Pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy…or if you’re me, go get your cup out of the microwave where you left it half an hour ago. You might want to reheat it first, though.” That is so me! LOL
LOVE these! People get irritated with me because I don’t always clarify birth/adoptive parents and ugh. Whatever. My mom and dad are my mom and dad, leave me alone.
I say mee-mee in my head, too 🙂
Love that one from “Love You Forever.” And so true about Ashley Mitchell’s. Good collection!
Love these!! Your memes always make me laugh so much. That one Jenni made is also one of my favorites of all time!! I’m loving Ashely’s too. I hadn’t seen that one before and it’s really good!
I think I’ll put these together more regularly…I grabbed what I had time for the night before #AdoptionTalk went live – you know…last minute as usual…but there are some good ones out there. But I really think Jenni’s is my favorite.
Awwww….thanks you guys. I love them all, will be sharing them a bunch!
