  23. Open Adoption

    in Looking to Adopt

    Posted

    Last week I was out of town on business with a coworker who is a birthmom. Her son is 5 and she currently talks to him every month, and she was wondering if she was doing the right thing by having an open adoption. She feels that she is confusing him by being around. I told her that he is at an age that he doesn't understand what is going on fully. Her son knows that he came from her tummy but that is about it. I told her that she is laying the ground work for the future.

    I then proceeded to tell her the benefits of having an open adoption, having a relationship with his first family and how they are one big family now. She really didn't thing about being one big family but she did agree that she was.

    I have learned so much from her already and I have told her that.

    She will tell me what is going on with her son and how her Adoptive Mom over analyzes things, thinking everything is related to the adoption when in fact it is just a normal stage of life that her son is going through. I laugh at that because I will sometime over analyze things, at least I have some one to tell me to stop over analyzing!!
