Welcome to the forums!! I am birthmother to two wonderful children. I agree that there are not that many birthmoms on the board that are active. Sometimes I wish there were more. It took me quite a while to feel comfortable posting on the forum. I know that my mother would love to post but she is not internet savvy and does not even know how to turn on a computer...LOL!!! I actually did not tell my family about the children I placed for adoption until they were older. They were like 2 and 3 years old when I told them. I was scared of their reaction and them not supporting me. When they found out they were a lot more supportive than I thought that they would be. I realize now that they would have helped me with the situation and I would not have been alone. They are very secure with my decisions place the children for adoption. They really love the adoptive parents of Nicholas. They visited with Nicholas about a year ago for the first time since birth. It was really great and I think that it gave them closure as to why I placed him for adoption. They saw the adoptive parents that were raising him, they saw the morals and values that they are teaching him and they saw the "perfect" child that he is. They are not as close with the adoptive parents of my daughter. They are not as secure with my decision to place her. They have not had the chance to meet Grace or her adoptive parents but I hope that it will happen one day. I know that it will happen when the time comes. I think that once they meet her the questions that they have will get answered and things will be better. The adoptive parents of Nicholas send my mother and grandmother pictures. My mother has finally mastered how to print pictures off a CD now so she usually gets a cd with hundreds of pictures on it. She gets double prints and send one set to my grandmother. I know that it was hard on them when they first learned that I placed their grandchildren for adoption. It was really hard on my grandparents. I think that they were in such a better place after meeting Nicholas and his family for the first time. I really enjoyed your post and I hope to see you posting more! Elicia
